 Dude which one?

True, I’ve done research on almost all of them. But I want to know which ones are the most handleable? I checked teh care sheets none that were good enough/ that I was looking for.

 Dude which one?

out of the ones listed, i have had experience handling the fattail, the ground gecko (pictus), vipers, day geckos, and armadillo lizards. As for tolerating handling, i would put it in this order- fattail, vipers, pictus, armadillo, day geckos. of course each individual lizard will be different though.

 Dude which one?

i read that you cant handle some species of day gecko because their scales are so small and fragile that they fall off wherever you touch them ,which is such a shame coz i desperately want a giant day gecko! (the bright green ones!)

 Dude which one?

Emerald swifts arent a good choice, they often dont survive long in captivity and require cooler temps than one would think coming from high elevations

Actaully that was what I was wondering, how low are the temps? I know the higher you go the colder.

Out of what you have listed I have only had the Armadillo lizard and she enjoyed being out and handled.
