There are alot of different lizards you can get. Green anoles are really easy to care for and they don't get very big. Remember to take into consideration how big it's gonna be as an adult and how much time you can devote to it. I owned a few anoles and they don't take much to care for. I currently own a 3 1/2 foot iguana, and he is a handful!! Whatever lizard you choose, make sure to research to make sure his diet and habitat are adequate. If you choose an iguana, a great book to get is "Green Iguana, The Ultimate Owner's Guide" by James W. Hatfield III. I hope I helped!!

A leopard gecko is a good, fun beginner species, and could live comfortably in a tank that size for its entire life. Other good beginner lizards are Uromastyx (have two), bearded dragons, and blue tongue skinks (have one). But they will eventually need something much larger. 35 gallons really isn't that big. Stay away from Iguanas and water dragons, they need HUGE (closet sized) cages when grown. Also desert species seem to be more beginner-friendly because you don't have to worry too much about humidity. Check out http://www.anapsid.org for good species-specific info.
