Beardies are great, and like to be handled. I'd go with one of them. Try to get one that's at least eight or nine inches, as they can be hard to take care of as babies. Just make sure you aren't just going for the "cute" factor, as they look slightly less cuddly as adults. Reptiles are harder than other animals, and need specific setups. For example, you must get a
UVB light for your beardie - otherwise her bones will get all wonky from calcium deficiency. Plus, you can't house them together, even as babies. There are some horror stories on this site about what happens when two beardies have to live together: don't kid yourself; they're not social animals. Please do a lot of research on whatever reptile you decide on before buying one.
