 Beginner. Questions?
1) No sweater boxes and no 10 gallon aquariums. At least a 20 gallon. You have to regulate temperatures, you need a 75 degree cool spot and a 85-90 degree basking spot.
2) Yes, you can use a white light bulb for heat but, they also need a UVB light.3) Soil that is chemical free is best for them. 4) The male will reach 7-9 inches and the female about 6. 5) You will need running water from a waterfall or you can use a 1-2 inch deep bowl with an airstone in it to move the water. The only other thing you can do to get them to drink is to spay or mist the tank so they can drink the water droplets off of the leaves in the cage. They need to have things to climb on. They are arboreal and mostly stay up in bushes and trees up to 15-20 feet high. 6) They should not be fed mealworms. Feed them small crickets, fruit flies, some butter worms. No house flies or roaches. 7) The female can have a dewlap, though not normally as colorful as the male. The female usually has a mid-dorsal line that is white-ish. Usually only young males will have this line. The male will do head bobs, some females will also do this but usually just the males. The males also have post-anal scales under the vent and hemipenile bulge. Males usually have a larger head to body ratio than females.
