I got some interesting feedback on my idea about getting a blue-tongued skink, including warnings that they are illegal to import and that they are poisonous, but neither of those is accurate. What may be more accurate was my conversation about them with a pet store owner who explained that skinks have a more typical lizard personality than I was seeking, describing them as "snakes with legs." His suggestion based on my comments about wanting a pet with personality that was more omnivorous than the gecko was a bearded dragon, a great choice based on the name alone. Reading more about this seems to support his opinion, and it seems obvious why these are such popular pets. This is nothing I'm jumping out to do anytime soon, but I'm definitely contemplating eventually going on an epic quest for a dragon.
