i have a very small ten gallon tank i want a small lizard other than a leopard gecko that i could keep in there

You could go with anoles or some other small geckos.Most stuff that will live comfortably in a ten gallon is either not very active hence the small enclosure or very small and with some problems. An anole is probably the best thing still for that small of a tank.

Anoles are nice size lizards for a 10 gallon. I have 2 babies that are doing good in the tank. They are arboreal so like lots of branches to climb on. Also active in day so need UVB/UV bulb and a heat sorce. They don't drink out of water bowl so have to mist down the sides of tank couple times a day. Mine are eating pinhead crickets and fruit flies.
I'm new to these anoles. My friends adults have had babies so mine are captive bred. Kingsnake has a very good anole care page. It's recommended 1 anole per 10 gallons. Eventually I want to put my 2 in a little bit bigger enclosure.

here are some lizards that wouold do good in a ten gallon.
a pair of bibrons geckos
greeen anole
sand fish
banded geko
a pair of side blotched lizards
oscelllated skink

hope this helps
