Possibly a small corn snake. They are cheaper and not so hard to care for, but they still take time and commitment.
Corn snake in a ten gallon? I don't think so....maybe for the first two months. They should have a thirty gallon or lager when they are full grown, because they get 4+ feet long.

I would suggest a leopard gecko or a fat-tailed gecko. If you can find one, a sandfish skink would be fun...they're cheap and attractive and friendly, but a little tough to find.

If any of these sound interesting, let me know and I will tell you about their basic care....(There are a lot of other knowledgeable reptile people on here too, these are just my ideas)
