leopard geckos are easy i never had a problem with them i also got a beautiful left over baby hypo tang left for sale she is gorgeous
 
I bred corn snakes when I was 7 on accident. They are super easy to bread. If you cool the males down for the winter (60-65 F) they will almost certainly breed when intoduced to females in the spring.

Generally corns have been know to breed without the cooling process, yet cooling still has shown larger clutches and healthier offspring.
 
crested geckos. you will most cirtainly love them, and you can buy prepaired food for them. so you wont have to buy crickets or babyfood. however cirtain baby foods are always a great sweet treat for your adults and babys.

if you spoil your cresteds with cirtain babyfoods (fruits) then they will become so tame that they will "want" to be held. and they will explore your hands looking for the babyfood.

im geting a breeding pair this spring :D
 
For beginners, kings/corns are probably the easiest. I agree with Marc, although winter cycling does help the breeding process, for the most part it may be unnecessary. I found that out when I bred my first snakes a long time ago when I was just a kid. Another plus to kings/corns is the variety of color morphs avaiable to hobbiests today. You could get 2 double het snakes, breed them and get a mutitude of different colored babies (its almost a quick lesson in genetics). Plus, the eggs are very easy to incubate as long as they are properly cared for.
 
Its a much better idea to brumate North American colubrids for at *least* one month prior to introducing them for breeding, especially males. The exposure to the low temperatures prompts the males to start producing sperm. Also, by not brumating your females, you run a much higher risk of them becoming egg-bound and possibly dieing as a result.
