I've had my Leopard gecko for sixteen years now and they have been known to live for as long as twenty five years. As for being a good pet, they are hardy little critters and can go with out food for quite a bit but they are nocturnal and so you wont see it a lot and I should imagine a ten year old would soon get bored of having a pet they never or hardly get to see. On the other hand I used to have a couple of green anoles and if I ever get back into keeping Lizards they would be my choice. They don't live as long but they are very lively do funny little dances and change colour from brown to green. Also a friend of mine all so had an anole that was tame enough for him to take out with him.

What type of lizard is good for a 7 year old girl?
I would suggest you get a leopard gecko or a crested gecko as your first lizard pet. Both are low maintenance reptiles that have fairly good temperaments. They don't grow very large and don't require a big cage either. However, keep in mind that these lizards live for a very long time and require your time and dedication to live their entire life-spans.other good first pet- gargoyle gecko (care requirements are similar to those of a crested gecko)- bearded dragon (great first pet if you can provide a large enclosure and the proper diet)-geckos of the rhacodactylus genus (these geckos are great first lizard pets! The crested gecko and the gargoyle gecko are members of this genus. Other members of this genus include: leachianus, rough snouted, chaoua, sasorinum geckos. However, these geckos (with the exception of crested and gargoyle geckos) often command a hefty price.
