My friend has some bearded dragons, and they are really laid back lizards. I don't know how much it costs to care for them, though.

Stay away from Tokay geckos - they are evil.

When I was a kid, I had a green anole. They are small and very quick when they are young (and probably pretty quick when they're older if not handled enough, but I played with mine everyday, so he was pretty docile). It took me a while to pick him up for the first time - I had to be quick but I didn't want to crush the little guy. Pretty cheap to care for since they are so small; 10 gallon tank was plenty of room, and he ate a bag of crickets every week or month, I don't remember, but it was cheap.

They told me he would only live 6 months to a year, but mine lived for just over 2 years. My dad picked me up from school one day and told me that Mac (the anole) wasn't doing too well and didn't look like he was going to hang on much longer. When I got home, I went over to pet him and see how he was doing, and he looked up at me and died a couple minutes later. My parents said he waited for me to get home to say good-bye. *a tear*
