Newbie with some questions

[ZMonte85]

Well, I'm a newbie to keeping lizards or any type of reptile as a pet and I have a bunch of questions and could use some help/opinions. I'm pretty open to all suggestions about what lizard to get as a newbie, because they all seem real interesting to me, but what would be the best lizard to start out with for a beginner? I'm looking for one that is fun to watch and relatively easy to care for. I would also like to be able to pick one that is easy to find in a local pet store too, I don't really want to hunt down a breeder for a rare lizard. I would like to keep the tank in which i would keep it in, under 55 gallons probably, because my budget is a bit thin right now. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for tank lighting and heating products or any advice they can give me on anything at all I would appreciate it. I guess that's all for now, I'll probably have more questions later, thanks in advance.
