I can’t see due to the over exposure in the pictures but be sure to get a large flat dish for him to lay in and drink from. About 2cm deep should be enough.

As for suggestions, go find some rocks. Try to get TONS. Make caves and just stack the rocks on top of each other to create all kinds of neat hiding spots and climbing areas. They are good for holding heat as well so if you wanted you could keep the rocks on the hot side of the tank.

Your alli most likely will always bite you. Its only in rare cases that people have found a tame one. Its just in their instincts to be aggressive. Don’t count on the lizard ever liking human contact. He may even hide when you are in the room.

They can get extremely stressed so I recommend no more than 2 hours of handling a week while they are young.Try to keep the time all together as well and petting your lizard isn’t recommended. They take it as a predator attacking and will most likely just hate you more. Just let him climb around in your hands and through your fingers, move slow and mind the tail.

Please do let him go he’s probably home sick and sick of the food your giving him. If you don’t know about lizards please don’t catch them I have a website with a friend and you can look us up even though we are still in the process of making it so check it in May. http://firsthandanimaladvice.fusiveweb.co.uk
