Crested Gecko's are the easiest to care for, you don't even need to feed them Crickets you can just get some Meal Replacement Powder put out by repashy or w/e, easier than gutloading and dusting imho + less chance of impactation from substrate when they leap after the cricket and get a mouthful :)

Bearded Dragons I never really cared for, they look cool but the ones I've run across have been way too calm for me :lol:

I guess a big question to ask... Is this a show pet or one you want to handle? (Not saying show pet in a demeaning way, but if you want a reptile that looks cool as hell, there are some lizards out there that aren't much for being handled but look amazing)

I recommend atleast considering a uromastyx if you're looking for a SUPER friendly, easy to manage big warm lizard.

I have two of them and I honestly could not be happier with my choice in picking them.

They eat basically all fruits and vegetables (my mom cuts and dices a wide variety of fruits and veggies and spoils my lizards so bad), and crickets also but only about once per month.
I hand feed my big uromastyx pieces of banana all the time, he absolutely loves it.

I have them out of their cage running around my room for about 15 minutes almost everyday, they're really pretty lazy and slow (well not slow like a turtle, but slow as in very easy to catch with your hands whenever you need to).

Here's some pics of my two uromastyx, sorry for the crappy camera quality :/

Give them some consideration if you're looking for big friendly lizards!
