well thats sort of what the appeal with reptiles and amphibians for me was. I have always been used to having rodents as pets and I like them due to they do want attension from their owners when they see them. The whole visual regniton they got going on.

but as cool mammals are too keep they require more constent care then a snake or lizard. Now you pay a lot of money up front for this animal but think about. You don't change out their flooring nearly as much as a guinea pig or rat (which I both own), you don't have to feed them that often possibly once a week, like my ball python that does not live in the house with me, and then after that possibly once month or twice....

you set up their heating set up undertank heater, or lighting lamps both if it happens to be a lizard.

and your about done. The way I see it the more one keeps herb the less expensive this animal will be to take care of then a mammal. lol it does make you realize why so many people do end up loving reptiles.

lol not to mention I doubt very many people pay pet deposits on a leopard gecko.
