I used to have one when I was in HS. They are amazing Lizards. So friendly so tame, just wonderful all around.
I let mine roam the room free-range style. He had a ladder to his cage that he would use to go poop.
They are extremely easy to care for and have a wide range of food that they can eat. I think you cant go wrong with one....especially if you've looked at the caresheets like you said.
