All pet animals differ in tempermant, demands, food necessary, cage limits, lifespan, etc.
First write down a list of what you're willing to put forth - how big do you want your animal to be, how much do you want to pay for equip (some lizards need specialized lights, timings, and humidity, etc). Then go to a knowledgable pet store, preferably not some corporate chain that hires retards, and share. Most pet store workers have their own opinions and suggestions. You can also check out the herpitology forms, herpnet I believe.
Living in the Midwest, I was lucky enough to stumble across a rare native species of lizard (the northern prarie skink, pictured). I saved it from being used as bait and kept it as a pet. (This can be dangerous due to wild diseases, etc, but I was lucky). I enjoyed having this native species as a pet, and did a fair job emulating it's natural environment. This may be the route for you.
