Re: What to get
I'm also thinking of a ringneck snake. I know they stay really small

Re: What to get
How about a Mandarin Newt? Or two.
Great guys, completely terrestrial, no heat required. Mine beg for food (worms).

What kind of worms do they eat? Is the food cheap?

Re: What to get
What about a Crested gecko or a Chinese cave gecko? They obviously stay small and I know the cresties are pretty easy to take care of. No additional heat or lamps required (unless it gets really chilly where you live!) Plus they have adorable faces!
Snake-wise Sand boas stay on the smaller side and have good personalities from what I hear. Western Hognose are getting more popular as well. So many choices!

Nope, they need a large water section for breeding only.
I have had mine on topsoil and a big water dish for over three years and they are doing fine. They eat regular earthwoms, and they can take night crawlers or the smaller red worms. If you have a fish bait store that sells earthworms, you have it made. I buy $5.00 worth every three months. Of course I suppose you can get earthworms delivered from the internet, but that would be more money. They will also eat crickets, which I get at my local pet store - 100 for around the same money. They don't eat that many crickets, but I also have other hungry salamanders and toads.
Just look at the cuties:

Re: What to get
I would suggest also the Tiger salamander, also completely terrestrial, but one would outgrow the ten gallon eventually. However, if you started with a young one, you could use the ten gallon tank for a couple of years before you would have to move to a 20. Mine is about 8 inches long and I have him in a 20.

Re: What to get
Would a scarlet kingsnake be okay in a 10gal? Because they only get to 2-2.5 ft.

After the small amount of reading I did on the scarlet king snake, it looks like it might be a difficult snake to feed. Looks like it prefers live lizards and may be tough to get one to switch to mice.

True that! hoggies are toad eating machines! I always liked ground snakes as well but don't know if you could find any for sale. I used to find lots of them herping in western Oklahoma years ago. Never tried keeping one.
