What is the easiest reptile pet you can own? There are so many great options. You might want a low maintenance pet because you are a busy person looking for a companion and want to spend your time hanging out and playing with your pet rather than servicing and maintaining your snake or lizard or even turtle. The most shocking entry on the easy to care for reptile list might be the box turtle. Usually turtles take a lot of work and time to care for but a terrestrial turtle like a box turtle can make really simple pets that do not take much time at all. Another Great option is a western hognose snake, or plains hognose snake. These shovel face, keeled scale, tiny snakes make amazing pets. The care is super simple and the small size makes these colubrids, although technically a venomous snake, a really easy and harmless snake to take care of. Chinese cave geckos likely are talked about too much on Wickens Wicked Reptiles but hey, they make great little gecko pets. Caring for these small terrestrial geckos is really simply and they are such cute little animals! Sure Leopard Geckos and African Fat Tailed geckos would work too. White's tree frogs are amphibians but perhaps the easiest frog to care for is a Dumpy Tree frog! An easy pet list is not complete without the king of simply lizard care, Crested Geckos. Sure Gargoyle Geckos or Chahoua Geckos would work but Cresties really are the easiest reptile to care for!
