Well, i have been keeping my boy for 15 months already and he is doing great!
First tribs need a 20l tank, well ventilated with a lid.Then you put inside the tank a large bowl of water.Regular tap water because tribs dont have problems with chlorine.Inside the large bowl of water you put a sponge, a small kitchen sponge that floats because they love to surf on the sponge on the water!lol!
Then you put a hiding place, a towel paper tube for instance, because they love to hide.Then you put a bowl of mealworms because thats what they love to eat and thats all! Not complicated at all!I didnt put any substrate, only a decorated aquarium plastic paper for decoration.I included also some plastic plants and plastic little frogs only to make his cage more pretty!lol!
Im keeping my boy in the living room on the top of a closet, at room temp.When its not too hot ( 80-85F) i put him in his outdoors cage for half an hour, 3 times a week, in the morning because tribs do need sun light.
About your questions, i think a 10l tank its too small because tribs do like to walk and to explore their house. They are not lap pets, they dont like to be handled!But they can recognize you and after a certain time they start to trust you.Now i can handle my boy for a short period of time and he walks on my arm without afraid.But they are not beardies or even iguanas that love to sleep at your side while you pet them on the heads!Tribs are very nervous and hyper active and they can easily die of stress.They do need a hiding place and to be left alone!
A petshop near my house import a few tribs and put in a glass aquarium ,without a hiding place, to be sold.They are dying one by one due to stress i suppose!
