Re: What to get
I don't think a childrens or spotted can be housed in a ten gallon their whole life. 10 Gallon aquariums aren't even really ideal for hatchlings of many species due to the lack of its ability to maintain a decent thermal gradient. Go with something that can be comfy at close to room temp. Amphibian species is my best suggestion honestly.

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).

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
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!

I was thinking about hognoses, I've always wanted one haha and how much humidity would a crested gecko need?

I'm getting a Hognose pretty quick here, pretty difficult to get here in Canada without shipping from the east coast. As for feeding you just have to make sure you get one from a reputable breeder that has been eating pinkies steadily. Otherwise how could you resist a cute snake like that! They'll even puff up 
Cresties are easy, as long as the humidity levels are always above 50% it should be fine. A couple mistings a day will prevent the humidity levels to drop as they need a moderate amount, especially during shedding. Plus these guys like fruit as a staple so you can get the Repashy diet for them to thrive on with mealworms, crickets, or waxworms as treats a few times a week.
