trust me tokays aren't best as pets as most are WC and run the risk of parasites and are very aggressive resulting in injuries to you
a good arboreal gecko that is handleable and nice looking are the crested geckoes,these are easy to keep and look great in a well decorated set up

if you look on any classified sites such as kingsnake.com or faunaclassified theyll have crested geckoes there that can be shipped to you or maybe near you or anything else you might be looking for lizard wise

i would go with the tokay. yah theyre very aggressive and hard to handle, but their hardiness and coloring make up for it and their vorasious(?) eaters. not to mention.....theyre cheap. i had one a couple years back and occasionally i would feed him a pinkie he was huge.

Im not 100% positive how big they get but and or how hard they are to feed or take care of so you should try looking into a chamelion's i think they are really cool..just my 2 cents

Its a bit difficult to understand what you're trying to say but I would say a chameleon might be a little advanced for your experience level. Of the lizards discussed so far I think your best bet is a leopard gecko.

baby leopard geckos esspecialy ones from pet stores have a high mortality rate.tokays are always #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^& off and handling then can be a chore but they are extremely hardy and adaptable. if u go by looks and price i like the tokay plus u can put then under blacklight for a couple minutes and they kinda glow. if u want a docile gecko slightly more expensive go with the leopard gecko. they are very calm especially when they get fully grown

Don't get a Chameleon if you're not experianced, they are very delicate and aren't really handleable, plus 18x18x18 isn't really big enough for them. Leopard Geckos are probably the best for you as other people said.
