Lizard Help

[Yeung]

So I really want to get a pet lizard/gecko, maybe even some kind of amphibian...however I'm on a fixed income, and the total cost (including enclosure and food) can't exceed $316. I may have some wiggle room and may be able to get this around $350-$400 but it isn't likely. A good cost for the animal itself probably can't be more than $100.
Anyway, anyone have any recommendations for me? I would prefer for the animal to be handleable, and not exceeding about 15" in length, however I also don't want a super super small animal.. and I DON'T want a crested gecko, so please don't say to get one of those! Thank you for reading this.
