    all reptiles over leos or crested are expensive, especially if you take them to the vet regularly like you are supposed to, feed them well and give them a huge tank.

    Anoles are also very easy and inexpensive to take care of. I've also heard that viper geckos and fat-tailed geckos are easy and not too expensive to take care of.

    Explain to me inexpensive. Many Varanus species are inexpensive to purchase but the food bill WILL build up over time. Then there are the fairly expensive purchase species, but food and other things are cheap.

    Anoles are not inexpensive first you will need a tall tank plenty of foliage and lots of trees a hot 100 degree basking area a uvb bulb they dont like being bothered they need high humidity they need calcium they eat everyday tthey hate each other even 2 females they tolerate each other but when they get fighting it doesnt stop, but they are pretty and very active little animals
