Terrarium biactive rainforests and its inhabitants visible during the day and possible to handle

Sorry for my poor English.

I'm especially in love with almost all desert lizards.

At the same time, I'm increasingly in love with naturalistic terrarium setups like bioactive rainforests.

If I'm thinking of getting one in the future, which lizards would you recommend?

My dream would be lizards that are visible during the day and can be handled at least occasionally.

I'm not concerned about size, although I wouldn't want it to be huge.

I know that New Caledonian geckos or a few day geckos are usually added.

Do you have any other ideas?

Egernia hosmeri - Does anyone have them and can say something?

I'm loving skinks more and more and I saw these . Does anyone have them and can tell you something about them? How are they cared for (temperature, humidity, feeding, etc.)? How are they handled? Are they visible in the terrarium?

Indonesians or Australians? Baby, juvenile, sub-adult, or adult?

I finally had the chance to see a good number of skinks at one of the major European shows. It's usually really hard to spot any, and they're almost all Indonesian.

There were some hilarious moments. In my haste to pick up an adult Australian, I dropped my phone in the water in a display (luckily everything was fine), and in the meantime, the reptile did... to the person holding him

Now to the questions:

- There were juveniles, sub-adults, and two adults.

Which would you prefer? I liked seeing the adults and sub-adults' personalities (or at least I hoped so), while I liked growing the juveniles.

- Why did you choose your Indonesian instead of an Australian?

Everyone recommends Australians.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the terrarium ready yet, so everything has been postponed. There's also a breeder from my country I want to contact; in that case, they would definitely be baby skinks, but he has several varieties.

sorry for my bad English
