My fiance wants a pet that she can hold and interact with. Shes cant really have dogs or cats cause she has allergys. She was interested in an iguana until we read that they can inflict some damage so i recommended a bearded dragon instead. But she knows that im trying to get a turtle or tortoise soon so she was like cant we play with the turtle, and i kindly said "no they are not lizards you cant just take them out and start playing with them, you can interact with them you cant really play with them!" Now she doesn't know if she wants the bearded dragon though.

A bird parakeet or bigger, parrots are nice. The bearded dragon are great lizards but I wouldnt say you can play with them, but you can have them
sit with you. A hairless cat or dog usually don't flare allergies. Pigs make great pets too.

If she wants a reptile, you can't beat a blue tongue skink.

Bearded dragons are great but they have two downfalls: Their poop stinks to high heaven, and you have to mess with insects of one sort or another for them. BTSs have neither of these issues and are great for handling and interaction.

I second the rat suggestion, but this may be an issue if allergies are a factor.

Rabbits are very social animals and love human interaction. I think that would be the perfect pet if she isn’t allergic.

Male rats are pretty outgoing and interactive...if you can handle their massive..parts dragging around on everything.

Also if she does not like the idea of bugs cresties are good but not as social in my opinion.

Chahouas are great but nothing I’ve seen here including my offer is snuggly. May I suggest babysitting a neighbors kid? Ducks and runs.

We died laughing because we were at the pet store with our three year old. She was oohing and aching over every animal. She said, “It is sooo cute!” My husband, “I had to stop myself from gagging. It literally looked like a dead possibly zombie lizard.”
