Wanting a display animal.

I have a dozen snakes but they are all rather reclusive and so housed in a backroom.
I want a display animal or animals. I currently have a homemade 4x4x2 that would work if I fixed it up a bit. I can easily install uvb and proper heat.

So suggestions would be welcome. Something more duirnal, maybe tropical.
Im thinking chinese water dragon, frilled dragon
jungle carpet python(although I think Im leaning toward a lizard of some type)

Maybe several of some smaller species?
Nothing hugely expensive or hard to find also prefer captive bred.

Thanks for any help

My favorite display animal is a GTP. They can be pretty nippy though.

Easy and stunning: A large, black background tank, grapevine or a nice piece of driftwood, vines and other decor, and several red bearded dragons. The ones that are truly red are extraordinarily beautiful in my opinion, and they are fairly social critters.

I would vote for an arbiters snake. Even when laying around they tend to be out in the open.

My choice would be a group of Rankins dragons or Eastern Collared lizards. Mostly because of how nicely you could make the cage look as part of the display. IMO larger lizards like Beardeds need larger cage decorations to make things look proportional so going with smaller ones make it easier to duplicate the habitat (for aesthetic reasons as it is going to be a display after all) Collareds are inexpensive and can be found CB if you look. Rankin can be found but not so much on the inexpensive part especially as you will want to have them sexed.

IMO its too small of a cage to get a nice effect for a water dragon or a frilled dragon.
