Are there any types of snakes that could happily stay in a 10 gallon tank? If not, is there any kind of reptile/amphibian besides green anoler, house gecko, or toad?
Also, I would not be able to feed the snake mice, frozen or not. I could feed it crickets, fish, or vegatables. mammals are out of the question for food.
The only small enough snake that doesn't eat mice is the Ribbon Snake. These don't get to be too large, only around 3' and 10 gallons would be alright. They can eat fish, amphibians, and bugs.

I think you can deffinately find a smaller species of salamandar which can live in a 10 gallon, but I can't say I know any in particular so you'll have to do some research.
Leopard geckos also do quite well in 10 gallon, provided they live on their own. These are probably the easiest lizards to keep. They eat crickets, with other bugs as an occasional treat. The bugs must be dusted in calcium and D3 powder, and it will help if you provide a dish with this powder for it to lick by itself.

Crested geckos are another alternative. They are arboreal, so if your tank is long, it wouldn't be too efficient. They should be kept one to a 10 gallon tank as well. They require either a homemade food blend or a retail powder which must be mixed with water. Unless your blend offers them their protien needs, you'll also have to feed them crickets.

I'm sure there are many other species of iguanid and gecko that are also suitable for a 10g, but I doubt they differ too vastly from green anoles or house geckos. You can look through some care sheets to see if you can find any more that interest you here: http://www.repticzone.com/caresheets/index.html
Nope. Ten is reallly small. Get a 20 gallon long, at least. If all you have is a ten, an african dwarf frog will be OK.

Well, a snake is out of the question because they do eat mice and rodents. There's alot of small lizards you could get, or a frog or toad–nothing that gets too large, you need to make sure they stay small.

One crested gecko can be kept in a ten gallon cage. They are very easy to care for. The site i added says 20 gallons for one to two but I know people who have kept single adults in 10 gallon cages.

no reptles belong outside not in a glass tank wish u people will understand that,snakes and turtles don't do well as a pet unless u have a pen outside for them ,

the only snake that i can think of that would fit in a 10G is a male kenyan sand boa, but unfortunatley it eats mice.
maybe some kind of tarantula, or how about stick-bugs ?

Well there are plenty of animals that will fit in a 10g.
I used to research tarantulas and I believe there are a couple species that will be happy with a 10 gallon tank.
Snakes don’t typically need much space. Most breeders keep their snakes in very small enclosures. As long as you take your snake out daily, a 10 gallon tank for most of the SMALL/medium snakes is fine.
You should really talk to your mother about the rodent thing if your interested in snakes. You can order them online for cheap, they will come in a box frozen within baggies. She will never have to see them, and they will never come in contact with her, or her food.
Another option might be a Leopard Gecko. Leopard geckos stay very small, and while they would be happier in a 20g+ they would definitely live happily in a 10 gallon, with the right set up. You would feed them crickets or worms.
My favorite reptile has to be the Bearded dragon. They are extremely smart, and its almost like they have emotion, and they love you back. They like to snuggle up to your warm hand… And they are so hardy, you can feed them once or twice a week. You can keep them in a large tupperware container from wal-mart, just buy some screen mesh from home depot, cut a whole in the lid, glue the mesh over the hole, get yourself an incandescent light for heat, and a mini uvb. They eat virtually anything, and they are omnivores, not herbivores. You can feed them lettuce. Table scraps if you have nothing else.
The Tegu has almost the exact care requirements, they get large.
So there are just a few options. My best advice is to do some real time consuming research using google, instead of asking and waiting for an answer. The answers are already out there, you just have to know what to ask google. So do some research. I highly recommend the corn snake, the smaller boa specimens, and the ball python.
But as I’ve said before, Beardies are absolutely wonderful pets.
