ive never seen a snake that was able to live with lizards.. too much potential for one to try and eat the other.. but i could be wrong. anyone else?

This is a very bad idea. Snakes should never be kept with other animals. Yes it may be an insectivore but I am sure it would supplement its diet with what ever you would place in the cage with it.
Personally, all snakes should be kept by themselves and i mean solitary. To many horror stories of snakes eating other snakes while being kept together.
Sorry if this is not what you want to hear but herps eat other herps. Also, how old is this snake? if its a newly hatchling, I would keep it in a smaller cage until about a year of age and then transplant it in your larger cage. Snakes feel more comfortable in smaller cramped cages. As they get to more of a young adult then its better to place them in their larger setups.
Oh, I just wanted to leave with this parting picture of another herp eating another herp.

I agree. Not the best idea. The snake would probably end up eating the lizards. Some species are more likely to do this than others. Most arboreal species of snake and pretty much all kingsnakes & hognose snakes are going to be lizard eaters (at least to some extent).
Ball pythons (Python regius, I think) are pretty picky about eating. They tend to like rodents and birds (not always in that order) and are pretty easy to get along with. Any other snake that's way too small to try to eat a ball python can probably be kept with one. Not that this helps you much w/ lizards...

i dont know, but maybe a lizard such as a bearded dragon / horny toad?
the dragons get about 16-20" and you can get them as adult (about 10-12"), sub-adult (about 8-10"), baby (about 4-6"), and super-baby (LOL!!... about 3-4")
not to mention theyre large and spikey, the horny toads in the wild are strict antivores (a word i made up which means they eat ants)...

You do not really want to keep any snake with any other herps, especially lizards. All lizards natural predator is a snake. They would be stressed out beyond belief kept with any kind of snake. The only lizard that would not be to afraid would be a monitor and a small snake but then the lizard would have lunch. I do not even keep my snakes with in visible eye shot of any of my lizards.
