I ’ m thinking about getting a pet , but I ’ m really not sure which animal would be suitable . Could you give me some advice ?   Certainly ! The first thing is to be honest about how much time for you can devote to your pet . Dogs are very demanding . You need to take them for walks and they love to play . Cats , on the other hand , are more independent .   I ’ m fairly busy , so I really need an animal that I don ’ t need to care of very much . Actually , I ’ d like a pet that ’ s a little unusual . I don't ’ really want a typical pet , like a cat , dog , or hamster . Do you have any suggestions ?   Unusual pet are often more expensive to keep . Is that a problem ?   Not really . By the way , I don ’ t want a pet that could be dangerous , like a tarantula or rattlesnake .   We have those , but I only sell them to people I know well , for obvious reasons . How about a lizard ? I have some that are very brightly coloured , are not aggressive , and are easy to feed and look after .   That sounds ideal . Could you show me some ?   Sure . Come over here . As you can see , I have a wide selection of species . They can live together , if you want lizards of different kinds . Do you have a favourite colour ?   I like the red one . What do they eat ?   You can feed them on various things . They will eat small pieces of meat , but I ’ d recommend insects . You can get them from your garden , but remember that lizards eat a lot insects . I sell them here .   Thanks a lot . What I ’ ll do si find out more online and drop by next week .   That ’ s fine . You shouldn ’ t make a hasty decision when choosing a pet .
