Do blue tongues lizards need heat lamps?
If you have a captive lizard or reptile they do need heat within the environment you have created for them. The inside temperature for an aquarium is colder than the outside air. Plus, they are not able to move to another area to find a heat source as they would in the natural world. A hot rock or lamp will do the trick.
Is it a good idea to have a gravel filter?
I assume your talking about under gravel filters in aquariums. There really is no right or wrong answer to this question. It's all about personal opinion. It really depends on what type of set up you have. In my opinion it is completely fine to have a under gravel filter, it is also unnecessary. If you have an adequate hang on back filter and do proper water changes you will not need this extra filtration. Some think it is nice to have anyway, they say it helps get water flow under the gravel and builds better biological bacteria helping break down the toxins that accumulate. So the ultimate answer is... It's up to you ;) I'm sure this answer is pretty much no help but I have no background information to be specific to your tank, if you want to start a discussion I'm more than happy to answer specific questions. Or find a knowledgeable person at your local aquarium shop to help you out.

Regardless of the type or size of goldfish the minimum acceptable size of an aquarium for a goldfish is 30 gallons. Buy a tank that is at least 30 gallons if you plan to have goldfish.
