Leopard gecko
They don't cost much and they are not mean and they don't need a ton of space

What kind of breading do you use on yours? I like a nice Panco breading with some garlic powder thrown in!

I would suggest something very mellow to take care of. Chameleons are high maintenance pets.
For me it is quite nice to have something robust and easy going besides. Tortoise and Turtles are great. The Tortoise eats every single veggie we eat (as well as our feeders for the Cham) and walks the house like a dog. The turtle eats the dead feeders for the chameleon.
Fully sustainable cycle in the house (besides the massive electrical bills for the Cham lighting).

I make my own breading. Great on okra.
I cannot recommend other reptiles because I've only had a turtle aside from my chameleon, and to be honest, he was not the most interesting pet. (Although setting his tank up with fish made it a bit more fun). But, not cheap. He needed a 75+ gallon tank when he got big, which I had no room for, so he now lives with a herper with a huge turtle tank in every room
However, if you ever want to consider something other than reptiles, my vote is always with hedgehogs I have two and they are a lot more companionable than reptiles. Food is easy, high-end cat food, and bugs for treats. There is tons of incorrect care info floating around out there, so shoot me a PM if you're curious about proper stuff.

I have owned a leopard gecko, a crested gecko as well as a bearded dragon. They are all great. To me the crested is the easiest to care for. They eat a powder formula that is mixed with water as well as crickets and worms. They are super friendly, At this time I own a veiled chameleon, a crested gecko, and a bearded dragon. The crested is super friendly and super easy to take care of. Bearded dragons are great pets too but require much more space and heating and lighting. They are a desert dwelling lizard and require hot, dry environment. Hope this helps...
PS my crested gecko has never even attempted to bite. Plus, they are super cool looking.
