BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Exotic Pets Allergic to dogs what reptile do you recommend?

In your article you said that if a person is allergic to cats or dogs they may be able to have a reptile. What one would you recommend?

People find that they are allergic to pet dander. The dander gets on the fur and basically all over everything else. Often people find they can have a reptile. (Reptiles have scales) Though, I wouldn�t recommend buying anything until you have a chance to be around one for a while to determine if you would have a problem. This would just become another disposable pet.

I think the bearded dragon is an excellent choice. I certainly have nothing against any reptile but the bearded dragon doesn�t get real big like for example, an iguana. They have what seems a naturally friendly disposition. Email me personally from my bio page and I will try to find a dragon for you to hang out with for a while.

I agree with Diana. A Bearded Dragon would be a good choice. My son got one years ago and named her Matilda. She was very gentle and gave him and his daughter so much enjoyment.

Iguanas are good also, but a little more rambunctious and can have tempers. They are easy to care for though.

Phyllis, besides the bearded dragon and iguana what other reptiles have you been associated with? It would be nice to learn some of the dispositions of other reptiles. Thanks for the confirmation. By the way, I was able to hook George up with a bearded dragon to visit as often as he wanted.
