I know I didn't represnt all or even most of the families out there but I think this should cover some of the more common ones (I'll give taxonomic family name with common name after for convenience).

That is a hard poll. I love the iguana's but there are several other ones that I think are pretty cool as well.
I also like the green tree boas and I like to "look" at the tarantulas.

Hello,
I chose geckos because I find them fascinating. I am also a massive iguana fan however. I also like Emerald Tree Boa's and Green Tree Python's.

OOPS! I forgot Tegus in the list. Don't count them as varanids. Put them as other and leave a comment. Sorry to all you Tegu owners, I knew I'd forget something!

I love the Bearded Dragons and the uros, so they obviously get my vote! I do like the iggys as well, but they are runners up
