Well, I have had all of the ones on your wanted list..
The Lacerta are kind of jumpy and fast until you tame them down, the Ackies at least mine (babies) were fast and sometimes tried to bite- but I have seen very Tame ones. The Collards are great as long as you go captive bred. But the Blue Tongues are the best IMO. I have had Irian Jayas, Northerns, Easterns, Tannibars (spelling may be off)
They were easy to feed as I never needed Bugs- High Quality Dog food with Veggie mix..they now sell canned snails which could be a treat, The majority of mine were very tame and would just chill out with me as I pet their head. They always seemed to have an outgoing personality. I now keep all snakes, but plan on getting one or a pair of Blue or Pink Tongues.
Hope this helped a little.
Bill
