What are some good reptiles you can get for pets that like handling?

I have 3 green anoles, and I know that there not reptiles for actual handling and playing with, but I was just wondering what some good reptiles for handling would be. (That was probably some really bad english haha). Anyway, if anyone knows what some good reptile pets that enjoy being picked up and played with are, I would sure apreciate it :b

with a little bit of time you could hold just about any reptile.

But none of the ever get tame best you can hope for is it will not run away or bite you whe you pick it up.

if you work with your green anoles you could pick them up but it will take some time.

Bearded dragons are good.
Leopard Geckos
some turtles.
Bearded Dragon, Garder Snakes, Salamanders.........All past pets of mine.........So yeah, good luck hope you find a good pet! :D
I would have to say that no reptiles really "enjoy" being handled but some tolerate it better than others. Bearded Dragons are the first that come to mind, and cornsnakes, ball pythons, blue tongue skinks are a few others. Tortoises can also be somewhat interactive, as well as some monitors.
leapord geckos are the best! the babies cost less but are less calm! (if u do get a baby, hold it every day or itll not be used to you and he wont like being held!) the older ones are melow and cost more but u need a bigger cage for them! take it from someone who has 2 leapord geckos! o and PLEASE STAR ME!! :)
The Green Iguana is an awsome pet. If you raise them they are very friendly and love to be held and walked like a dog. My brother has had three and I've had one.
No reptiles like being handled, but if hand-raised, some will tolerate it. Snakes enjoy body heat, I know that.

The main thing to be concerned about is that some reptiles should never be handled, for your own safety. They can carry bacteria on their skin that will make you sick. I believe some of the common bacteria carried on reptiles is Listeria, E. Coli, and Salmonella. I could be wrong about one or more, I'm not an expert, but they do carry nasty germs! Remember those little tiny turtles everybody used to have in their classrooms when we were kids? Ever wonder what became of them? They were banned in the US because they were so bacteria-laden!

Get a good reptile book that deals with the germs commonly carried by various species, to find the lowest risk pet to have, or talk to a reptile expert. I don't mean the high school kid at Petsmart, either! I mean someone who has had more than sophomore Zoology. A vet, reptile keeper at a zoo, or zoologist at a University would all be good bets. Call the institution of your choice and ask for the e-mail address of the person in charge of the reptile department. Most people will not mind answering a brief e-mail, especially on their area of expertise.

Until you know more, be careful caring for your anoles. Just because you haven't gotten sick yet, doesn't mean you couldn't. Thoroughly wash your hands after feeding, and especially after cleaning their habitat. A hand sanitizer after washing wouldn't be a bad idea, either. Alcohol kills most germs.

Hope you find a safe pet that will tolerate being handled. Good luck!
here are some sites i have found i haven't had any but i had a friend you had a grass and corn snake that you could handle but sending site about reptiles as pets hope the help. hope these sites help.
Turtles Are GREAT
A good one is a Ball Pythion. Another is an green Iguana. They don't mind being held, but they don't LIKE it.
There is a snake called a rubber boa. it reaches about 2 feet in length when mature and they love being handled. The are very low maintenance snakes since they live in the wild in the mountains. No heat lamp or anything is necessary. They eat frozen or thawed pinkie mice. The best part about them, they WON'T bite. it's not part of their defence. They will generally wrap around your hand for a while when you pick them up absorbing your body heat then they will start wandering around, they're not fast though so no fears of escape. they're hard to find but if you go to a reptile show near you you'll likely find a breeder. They are well worth the trouble. Good luck!

oh and another thing adding on to the germ comment. As a vet tech I know that EVERY reptile has salmonella on there skin. that's why you wash your hands. and the box turtles were only banned because they were being sold for 50 cents to kids with no "wash your hands" instructions. As long as you practise good sanitation you'll be fine.
a ball python or columbian boa snake are good handling pets or you can go with a bearded dragon.(reaserch before you buy)
idk just answered for the points
