    I'm a tad biased; but I think that besides Geckos and Beardies; that Blue-tongued skinks are the best pet lizards.

    They are often referred to as the 'Cadillacs of the lizard world', and are very intelligent, docile, interesting, almost dog-like pets. They are a bit higher maintenance than most geckos (they require UVB lighting, they need about a 4x2x2 cage, they are omnivores, etc), but if you can handle that, then you really can't ask for a better lizard. :)

    Here are a couple of care sheets on them:

    I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions at all on the subject; please feel free to message me and I will be more than happy to assist you. :)

    Good luck!
