how to build a terrarium basics--is it easy to add an animal?

So I decided to build my own terrarium for my apartment, I have no other plants and thought I'd start with this. I've got my bowl, soil, charcoal, pebbles, driftwood, and some plants. I always thought terrariums were plant-only, but I was reading this article (here: how to build a terrarium) and it says you can put animals in and that a lot of people will choose lizards. I have NO idea what kind of lizard would be good, I haven't even chosen my plants yet, but I definitely want to go for a sort of woodland/mossy type of environment. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have animals in their terrariums?
