A 10 gallon tank is too small for the majority of lizard species available in the pet trade. Additionally, a LOT of equipment is required to properly keep a reptile...the tank is the least expensive thing on the list.

I recommend that you do your research, and decide what species of lizard you would like to keep--then, purchase a book on its proper care, and read it carefully. Purchase all of the necessary equipment, and set it up, with stable temperatures....then find a good breeder of the species you want, and purchase your lizard.

Absolutely do not buy any wild-caught animal as a first reptile pet, and do not get any reptile that is not recommended for beginners.

Rankin's dragons are a smaller species related to the bearded dragon, and have similar care.

Orange-Eyed crocodile skinks can be housed in an enclosure the size of your tank, though you will need something better than a screen top for them. It make take work to find captive-bred specimens, and, like the Rankin's Dragon, you will probably have to buy one online. Do NOT buy a wild-caught animal, they are difficult to acclimate. Pay careful attention to environmental requirements for this species, as they are fairly new to the trade, and it's uncertain how hardy they are. They may not be as forgiving of mistakes as a bearded dragon--so try not to make any.
