Help ?

Question
Hello,

i am going to buy either a leopard gecko or a berber skink , and have researched both lizards fully, but cannot make up my mind on which animal to get!

if you could give me the pros and cons of each , and which you personally think is better ,it would be a great help.

I am looking for the lizard that will be handled, and which will be entertaining to watch and feed etc.

thankyou very much

Answer
Both are docile, personable lizards, leos are nocturnal and Berbers are day animals.  Personally, I would go with the Berber, they live longer and are omnivores, they'll even go fishing if you put a small feeder fish in the water bowl.  They burrow in damp sphagnum moss and are so docile, they get along with other skinks.
