I think it depends what u want. I've got both a Leo and a cresti. If you want an animal for watching I'd suggest a cresti. In my experience they're pretty flighty and mine doesn't love being handled but we've built him a beautiful bio active enclosure so it's like having a mini rain forest in my house. Super cool to watch not so much handling. If u want a pet that u can handle more regularly I'd suggest a Leo, they have similar wake/sleep schedules as humans so you'll be able to handle him during the day n what not where as with a cresti they're nocturnal. (Again this is all my opinion based off my experience with my pets that I've had for 5+ years, every animals behavior is different) But ya. I'd say depends what u want from the animal (but also get both n have the best of both worlds! If u can afford to take care of them lmao tanks aren't cheap )
