2) some type of crab, hermit, fiddler possibly a Christmas
OR:
3) a Human head.
It's up to you
What were you personally thinking of putting in there?

Or does said person.....Only need to care for what is manageable...
Maybe an Argentine Horned Toad is right up your alley. They are not boring. They can help you learn about amphibians, and reptiles in general.
What I love about "filling" 10 gallons here at the rescue is watching and learning.
I don't care where or who you live with.
When you can respect what type of herp(s) that live with you and learn from watching and caring for their husbandry. You can then become more advanced in the care. To me it is never a "status symbol" and to the people in the industry I can say it's not to them either. Everyone is always learning all the time.
That said.
If I had a 10 Gallon to fill. I would LOVE to have a Pixie Frog

Look into it. It may be the best bet....

Yeah! its funny to watch a fiddler get tough and act like hes 1000 feet tall with that claw waving it does.

I want another crab now...must...practice...self...control...

What do they eat?

I'm sure they don't eat ASF rats...

Sinking crab food, fish food meant for scavengers (sinking tablets, shrimp pellets, etc), and freeze dried plankton and shrimp.

Pixies need a 20 as an adult as they get quite large and they might not run but they do move 100% more then horned frogs. I love my tiny dune geckos. Of course a retic would fit well:)

Ok, I don't know if they would fit, probably not, but anyone ever think about "Christmas Crabs"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Island_red_crab
When I used to run A fish aquatic store my numnut assistant manager ordered them. They were very cool. I did put them in a 30G after some research. But I don't know if one can live in a ten gallon. Anyone have experience?
