Exotic for standard ten gallon

[coura]

needs at least a 20 gallon breeder, wouldn't put it a ten for life

Agreed 100%, I would say something even bigger like a 40 because they are messy, they need a big tank with powerfull filtracion to cope with their biological volume as well as their growth, they get big

One crocodile skink is another possibility.

Dont mess with thouse They are hard enough to keep in a normal tank, let alone such small one, they need much more space to hide and roam

One of the most underated reptiles IMO is the Egyptian Sandfish. It is a very small liazrd that "swims" in the sand. They are very cool, very simple to keep (deep sand, and although I offered mine water of course I never really saw it drinking any) no need for hides or decorations of any kind and a good heat pad generates enough heat since they can burrow right down to it. They are also cheap, the going price seems to be about $15 U.S. They have become harder to find but I see them on kingsnake once and a while.

Now this one is entering the world of passable for this tank But wouldnt hurt a bigger one like a 30

Male kenyan sand boas are pretty small.

I would go with either a red eyed tree frog, or an emperor scorpion.

Rosehair tarantula would be my first opinion. Unfortunately most of the small exotic herps are frogs - which shouldn't be handled.

They are small snakes, males reach bethween 15 and 18 inch (max 24 inch) but this only a 10 gallon, a bit bigger cage wouldnt hurt
