Okay I have 2 beardies and I am ready to open my heart to a new lizard. I need one moderatly sized (you see I have beardies so you know what 'moderatly' sized is). Good temperment. And also one that doesn't need 500 hours of cleaning and special requirment each week. (Yes yes I know there is not 500 hours in a week, but you get my drift)
Oh yes and enjoys to be held.
Thanks for you input.

I'd suggest a blue tongue skink. The criteria that you mentioned fits well with a blue tongue. I recently acquired one and am very pleased with it. Here's some pics of my new BT named Mystic.

Uromastyx, imo..very much like beardies..well sorta but not..same attitude, very tame calm and like to run around...care is different but pretty easy..they can get to be sorta expensive though..for the set up and everything...
What are you looking to spend???
my chinese water dragon is the only lizard i have now and have ever had that is most docile. more docile than my uro who runs from me and wiggles the whole time i hold her. sure my dragon just like most of them are a little jumpy when there babies but quickly grow out of it especialy with frequent handling. they can soon learn to perch and stay on your sholder. i would count them as moderadly sized, especialy females that stay much smaller than males but males only get up to 3 feet. the cage doesn't need to be super big but you need to be able to keep humidity very high.
just another lizard to add to your list, do lots and lots of research on any thing you come up with.

Money is not a concern. Thanks for you ideas. I'll put them into concideration.
Also I would prefer if it didn't have high humidity. Low-Moderate is good.
