Default What to get ?

I'm looking to buy my first lizard, don't want it to be to large though. I had a tortoise, so i'm not completely new with heat lamps etc just not to sure what a good lizard to start with is. Any suggestions ? Hannah.

Wouldn't like it to much bigger than 1ft. I suffer from M.E so i dont really want something to energetic and i have a fair amount of space available.
