I don't think there are any vegetarian lizards that small- purely herbivorous lizards are few and far between at any rate. The green iguana is one, but they get enormous. I can't think of any others off the top of my head. Also, vegetarian lizards are generally not low-maintenance, they need a rather complex diets to keep them healthy. Even lizards that eat a mix of greens and insects tend to be too large for a 20 gallon (ie bearded dragon). But if you are willing to feed crickets, that opens up a whole range of very nice geckos and anoles and such that aren't too much work.
