    I don't know if there is a lizard that fits your needs.

    Small enough, tolerant enough of those temps, and not an insect eater.. that pretty much eliminates any lizard or gecko out there.

    I'd almost say steppe runners. They're small and don't need lots of space, will use branches to climb. They appreciate heat like bearded dragons, and you can feed them small worms like mealworms Phoenix worms, waxworms, and other small insects like Isopods, etc. I actually find that they're pretty easy to handle, and they live very well in groups.

    Maybe look into those. It sounds like you need a desert species because of the heat, so I really don't agree with getting a gecko unless you can find a place where the temps are in the low 80s at most.

    Leopard gecko. As long as your house cools down to the low 80's at night they'll be fine. They're very ineractive, don't need UV light, and LOVE mealworms. Just make sure they have a humid hide.

    The cage is a bit on the smaller side, but mine are fine with that same size. If you really wanted you could build some levels going up to give it more floor space.

    Bearded Dragon perhaps? They are quite popular, and very tameable. I do like Golden Geckos, or a Marble Gecko... they are very beautiful and very unique. I know that Flying Geckos are very interesting, but I'm not sure they are all that tameable/holdable. Blue Anoles are cool.
    It really depends on what you're into, or what interests you.... my best suggestion is to go to your local reptile show and see what they have avalible and from there, see what lizard you like most :)

    Bearded Dragons need bigger enclosures than a 18x18x18

    Is not like my House is 95 degrees 24 Hours.. When Heat wave hit NY in summer... is a temp with my room Coumd reach in summer in the middle of the day. My AC working in cycles from 8pm to 8am cooling my room to 78 during the night My snake racks and terrariums have all heat off in summer time and I never seen my Ball Pythons or House snakes Showing any sign of discomfort so i dont Understand why You being so offensive...

    There is company in Fl with Keep Giant Day Gecko outside when temps in summer reach 101 degrees in shade They producing High end Morph of that species and let Eggs incubate naturally...

    I always put comfort and health of my animals before anything else... and This forum is for asking Questions and doing research before making decisions so if you dont have good advice on the subject.... is sometimes better dont write at all

    I was considering or leopards or fat tails... but can they be healthy if you eliminate cricket fro they diet at all ??

    there was no offense implied. sorry if you took it that way. i was simply saying that sounds mighty uncomortable to me. that's all. my AC broke last summer at the end of july for a week and temps im my house went nto the mid 90s and i was miserable. i was ready to plop down 200 bucks a night for a hotel room.....my snakes and geckos were in heaven though.....:D....plus i never questioned the husbandry or health of your animals. in fact, i made no mention of your animals at all because i was joking about how miserable I AM in that heat. relax man, not everyone is out to get you.

    will you do roaches and mealies or is it no bugs at all? my leopards do fine without crickets. that might be a great option for you.
