Don't get a lizard as a dog-substitute. They're really very different in the way they interact with humans and are unlikely to scratch the same itch. They also have rather fragile immune systems (because they can't raise their body temperature to kill off an infection), while also being capable of giving humans quite nasty infections if they bite because they have bacteria in their saliva that are harmless to them, but not to humans.
