He's so ugly it's cute

He certainly has his charm, that's for sure!

Now I want a lizard

As long as you get one with scales, I'd highly recommend it! They do require at least a 75 gallon habitat, though. Ideally 120 gallons! Also, ideally a front-opening one (they get spooked if you come at them from above).

Also will need a heat lamp and a long UVB fixture that spans at least 1/3 of the habitat.

Oh, and they eat insects & greens. Babies eat 80/20 bugs & greens, but transition to 20/80 bugs & greens as adults. Crickets or dubia roaches are the best insect staples!

My dragon is around the size of my forearm, but they won't get much bigger than your entire arm.

As babies, they are very skittish / energetic, but as adults, they are pretty mellow. If you'd like a smaller, chill cuddle-buddy to just hang out with, a dragon is for you!

I am just considering my options of low maintenance pets. This seems like a fairly decent option.

Definitely adopt an adult! Just be aware of their lighting, space, and food requirements. Many are essentially friendly pet rocks that simply enjoy hanging out & looking cool. (:

Looks a bit like the ghoul from the fallout show, in the best possible sense! You're so kind to take care of him, sometimes I gain hope for humanity ❤️
