| None at all...at least in the sense that one understands that any animal is capable of biting if it feels the need to. That said, pretty much any large lizard demands a commitment to log some serious interaction hours for it to be considered "tame". This goes for any iguana or any monitor species....which I think covers all the "large" lizards.

have you herd of the caiman lizard. I have. Awesome lizards, but I wouldn't put them in the "large" category. They get about the body size of a water dragon. Plus, they're all wildcaught, have a very specialized diet, very very expensive, and I've heard (don't quote me on this) that they're pretty aggressive. Xenite, I don't think there's any other genus of lizards that are considered "large". The largest representatives of skinks, geckos, agamids, and anguids I would stay in the medium range.

ocellated skinks make great pets. they are pretty cheap, don't need a lot of room, and are mabye the easiest lizard to breed. all you need is a 10 gallon tank for up to 3 or 4 lizards, warmer temps (80-85 Degrees), about an inch or 2 of fine sand to borrow in, UVB bulbs, and breeding comes natural. they give live birth to a liter of about 3-4 2-inch babies that need the same care as the adults. not to mention they (adults and babies) take handling very well. in fact i was going to buy a few to try to breed.
My Kids:
0.1 Albino Leopard Gecko
0.0.1 Yellow Ackie
0.0.4 Crested Gecko (assorted morphs)
