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.
