First Language [snake/reptile based]

I'm working on a comic where the antagonists are lizard folk. Instead of just doing random squiggles for their dialogue I thought giving it some actual backing would be cool. I'm new to this but found some guides and started picking sounds I thought they'd be capable of;

For the vowels I was thinking AEI would be sounds they could make as well.
My though process was more tongue, throat based, airy sounds. Nothing with the lips.
Was looking for some advice/guidance before I go further. I feel like trimming it down might help some, and also some advice on potentially 'romanizing' it so I can work with it more easily. An idea I had was using an apostrophe for where the sound is made in the mouth since they are pretty similar like ['th] for front [t'h] for middle, etc.
