Calm and easy, great for nervous first-timers

I was nervous about keeping a reptile for the first time but my leopard gecko has been perfect. He's never tried to escape or shown any aggression. I handle him for 15 minutes most evenings and he just explores my hands calmly. The setup is simpler than most reptiles — a 60cm tank with undertank heating and hides is the basic requirement. Very manageable for a beginner.
