A chameleon in my opinion would be you best choice. Low Maint. and inexpensive.
Chameleons and not the best option here..... while the can be tamed and nice creatures they require a ton of handeling to remain mild tempered, If you get one of these I would suggest a veiled chameleon..... if the little boy is not a fan of cleaning these guys are kind of messy. On another note chameleons require a certain humidity level for the inexperienced reptile enthusiast I would suggest a leopard gecko. Leos are low maintenence, friendly, easy to handle, they poop in one spot ALL THE TIME and they don't require uv lights being nocturnal. As with any reptile I would suggest a calcium supplement to dust crickets with at least every other feeding so your new pet doesn't develop the dreaded MBD (metabolic bone disease). As with any pet beofre purchasing please consider the animals well being if you feel you cannot provide the heat source(the tank needs a temperature gradient), housing and varied food supply (they eat crickets, meal worms wax worms, sometimes pinky mice but rarely they are really high in fat) please do not put the animal at risk. _______________________ my brother had a leopard gecko and it does need UV lighting during the day and night. ask your pet store for more details. another great one would be a bearded dragon! i have one and it was one of my best decisions so far! :) they are extremely friendly, but they do need lighting. also they only NEED to be fed every other day or so. but they are happier with every day 4-7 crickets [dusted with calcium] or about 3-6 mealworms. i started breeding bluebellys when i was 10 and my experience has increased dramatically. bluebelly lizards, also know as western fence lizards, are extremely low maintanence, and if no pet shops sell them, they are very common in the outdoors and can be found throughout america. they also can show their mood. Without turning the lizard over, if you look at its belly, it ranges from pearl white to seastorm blue. the darker the blue, the more angry the lizard. If the belly gets too dark, its time to put it away, which makes minimal biting. I typically fed them 10-15 crickets a day, but i usually had 5-7 lizards in a single tank, so each only needed about 2-3 crickets a day. they can also go for upto about a week without being fed, although i do not suggest this.
What else can I help you with?
If you put a blue belly lizard in a tank with 10 crickets will they attack the lizard?
It is unlikely that the crickets will attack the lizard. However, the crickets may nibble at the lizard if they are hungry and the lizard is small or weak. It is always best to provide enough food for both the lizard and the crickets to avoid any potential issues.

Contacting a wildlife rescue service or taking the lizard to a veterinarian to have its injuries properly assessed would be the best course of action. If you are willing to provide medical care for the lizard until it is able to be re-released the vet will be able to instruct you how best to treat its injuries.
