What is your favourite medium sized reptile and why?

Hey everyone! I’ve been keeping geckos for over 10 years and am moving into a new space in a couple of months where I have room to finally house a larger reptile! I’ve hyperfixated on pretty well most small-medium sized reptiles kept as pets since I was a kid and now that I’m finally going to be able to house something within the 4x2x2 or larger range I’m struggling to pick what I should get. Part of me would love a merauke blue tongue skink first and down the road I’d absolutely love to own a tree monitor.

There’s so many beautiful reptiles out there so I want to know what your favourite medium sized reptile is and why? I’d ideally like to own a species that tolerates handling which is why I’m drawn to blue tongue skinks (and they’re just so freaking cute).
