Ok, no opinion here... sometimes with very young corns, they won't eat pinkie mice. You can try small anoles or fence swifts. They inhabit the same types of areas. You might want to freeze & thaw them to prevent transmission of diseases.

So, even though you want our opinion on which lizards you can feed your snakes you still really don't want our opinions.
Interesting to say the least.
So, In My Humble Opinion, if for some reason such as a non-feeding corn, you want to feed lizards to your snakes then skinks are another option to go along with the anoles and swifts mentioned above.
Skinks are also found in most (if not all) corn snake zones.

anoles, skinks.

I wouldn't feed lizards if I didn't have to. Most lizards you'll find are infested with parasites, and will pass that along to your snake. If you want to deal with regular vet visits and dewormings, fine.

Also, although hatchlings do eat lizards in the wild, adults do not. You'd have to feed at least half a dozen anoles to an adult to give it a decent-sized meal.

My snake eats anoles. He LOVES them.

Anoles work pretty well. Just be carefull and make sure it isn't a biter. I had one grab hold and put up the good fight.
