Answer
Sky, to be honest I know something about Mammals and the Dwarf hamsters in my personal experience are ferocious little buggers and I don't care for them at all.  That being said, I have heard many people owning them with great success.  Now onto the price range thing.  With the Green or Bahama Anole you will have to have UVB lighting and Heat so it could get really close to the 80 dollar range.  Panther Geckos and Long Tail Lizards would almost positively over that.  It also depends on where you are getting the reptile pet from as to what the cost is going to be.  If you want something to handle I would highly recommend a Leopard Gecko.  They go over your budget though so its really hard to say.  If that budget is strictly kept then I think you may end up with a mammalian pet instead.
