A nice paludarium, with fire belly toads. I have a 40 gallon like that and its awesome.
for snakes all I can come up with are garters or cornsnakes. If it was me Id go with a female hognose.
Otherwise a pair of leos, fire skinks or any small skinks like berbers. I love fire skinks. Maybe some other exotic small lizard or gecko species.
Mice, hamster, gerbils. tarantulas.
