Of these, the Ball Python and Russian Tortoise will be the most interactive.  You may also wish to consider one not yet mentioned: a Bearded Dragon.

##### Ball Python 
Although they’re a bit on the quiet side, ball pythons are very calm, docile snakes that are comfortable with handling, and have been dubbed the most popular pet snake in the reptile world.  Young ball pythons enjoy curling up into a ball and sitting in your hand, but once they reach adult size, many people also enjoy wrapping the snake around their neck. Ball pythons are not uncomfortably squiggly snakes, so they tend to move slowly and more often than not, they will stay put wherever you place them.

##### Tortoises, including the Russian Tortoise
Land tortoises, especially the Russian Tortoise, enjoy wandering around outside in the nice weather. Though some tortoises can be left to roam and will return for feeding, a proper outdoor enclosure is recommended for the Russian variety while unattended.  In appropriate climates they are happy to be kept outdoors indefinitely, and many owners do. Not only do tortoises live very long lives (up to 50 for the Russian), they’re also very low key and don’t ask much from their owner. They are content to wander your yard and they’ll come say hi and get their shell scratched from time to time.

##### Bearded Dragon 
One of the most easy-going, uncomplicated species of lizards you’ll ever encounter. Bearded dragons are captive bred through enough generations at this point that while they are not technically domesticated, they have become quite tame.  Hatchling bearded dragons are quite at ease being held and touched by people.  It’s not uncommon for them to enjoy being taken out of their cage to spend time with their owners. Many people like to place their bearded dragon on their shoulder while they sit at the computer and still others will take theirs to the couch to watch TV with them! Bearded Dragons are extremely friendly, mid-size companion lizards that will enjoy human interaction.
