Their husbandry is complex enough that it requires some reasearch but not overly complicated that you need highly specialised items. They are forgiving of newbie mistakes to an extent, yet there's just enough going in their requirements that it teaches you to pay attention to what is needed. They are quite docile and food is readily available so they make a great ambassadre for the reptile world, so yeah they are a great beginner reptile.
As with any reptile it requires a bit of research. Beginner does not mean feed and forget, beginner should mean a great platform to further knowledge.

Maybe I just had a really bad experience...
(if I offend anyone i am so sorry I am having such a bad night...yell at me in pm if you have to)
