I would start out with an ackie preferably a pair. Savannah monitors are an obvious choice for a beginner because there easy to obtain and cheap.

Savs are shy and secretive where as ackies are active excavating tunnels, exploring and hunting down prey...

my first lizard was a salvator. i had 2 die in 6 months because my care was aweful. the third i did a ton of research (but not enough to know they lay eggs with out a mate) mostly on husbandry. i made phone calls to anyone who had a large monitor on the internet. fixed my problems and am very happy with my 3rd salvator who turned 2 (in my care) in august. just research and decide for yourself.
