A snake. They don't smell, don't need lots of atterntion, and only eat every two weeks or so.

Land tortoises are very easy to care for. They tend to take care of themselves pretty well.

Contrary to popular opinion, iguanas are very difficult to care for properly. Try a Leopard Gecko, Bearded Dragon or Corn Snake.

probably a corn, rat, or kingsnake. They don't need any kind of special lighting like almost all the lizards do, just heat. They are also less sensitive to humidity than ball pythons, and eat better. Bearded dragons are fun, but eat a LOT when they're older... Also need a pretty large tank. Snakes only need to eat once every week or two, depending on age. Also means you only need to clean their cage out once a week. As far as lizards go, I'd say the leopard gecko or blue tongue skink are the easiest, depending on how much room you have. Stay away from turtles/tortoises, especially aquatic ones, lots of work... As are iguanas.All reptiles can be very fun and rewarding pets, but you asked which ones were easiest, so there you go:-)

NOT an iguana! The only reason I asked for one was because my parents wouldn't let me get a guinea pig--bad choice. 7 years later and she's tons of work. DON'T get one!

I'd say a cornsnake or kingsnake - possibly a ball python, although they can be picky eaters.Just remember to do your research before you buy. They may be easier to care for than 'regular' pets in some ways - no walks, only feeding every 7-10 days, but the set up of the vivarium and the correct heat is vitally important.Whatever you decide to go for have a search online for appropriate caresheets and check out some forums.
