pets you want to have or are considering to get

I'd love to have some egernia skinks. They live well in groups, stay small, and bear live young. All this plus they look incredibly unique. They cost quite a bit, but in time I'd like to get a group of 3-4 stokesii.

If you can't afford a group i'd recommend the Cunhinghams skink (Egernia cunninghami), they don't fare as well in groups as Gidgees and are slightly larger but they have quirky personalities.
I'm not sure if their readily available in the USA though but here in Australia they are quite common.
 
For me I would like to own a Spotted Python, small pythons which need adequate space and room for climbing but like horizontal space as well. Care is apparently relatively easy but I have never kept reptiles before. I do not want a carpet python (yet at least)

I'd also want a few other animals however, Australia prohibits the keeping of all exotic reptiles and amphibians (except the axolotl) and requires a basic liscence for natives yet it's totally fine to own a Ring necked parrot or a Blue and Gold Macaw with no licence.

Animals I want to own that are legal
Spinifex Hopping Mice
Cunninghams Skink
Ackie Monitor
Spotted Python

If Australia did allow exotic herps I would probably desire the following

Leopard Gecko
Amazon Milk Frog
Fire Skink
Tricolour Hognose Snake

Other than the herptiles an aviary would also be nice, preferably with pheasants, quail, small parrots and estirid finches.
 
If I had the initiative to get any animal I want, I would have ended up like Yoshinori Horii
