I agree with Beth, I keep and breed Retics and I would never let them go to someone as a first dart - get some experience with other more 'forgiving' species first would be my advice.
I was at an exotic pet store last week and saw a viv that looked about 20 high, and in it were a couple of COOL lizards. They were about 10" long and 2/3 of that was tail!!! The sign said they were "vine lizards". They seemed to have care requirements similar to darts, however they didn't do much.
Mine ate Melos just fine but springs and Isopods are crucial to have in there viv. Believe it or not these were my first frog back in 2003 when the were $50 each...definitely would recommend them as a first frog though.

I'm guessin' we'll never find out who Chris Teem was getting those retics from back in 2003 for $50. A shame.
