Okay, first DON’T set it in the Sun! The heat inside the container will cook the lizard!That’s half of what killed my lizard! Next, Uvb bulbs cost about maybe 30-50 dollars each. 10 gallon tanks may cost about 50-80 dollars each unless you can find one at a local thrift store for cheaper (clean it out throroughly if you do). Also check in for specials at petco because sometimes they’ll have tanks for $1 per gallon. Only sometimes though.

If you are going to keep a lizard then you need money.

I saw petco had the $1 per gallon special going on yesterday. I bought a 13w 5.0 UVB spiral bulb yesterday at Petsmart for just under $20. Good luck.

I’d buy a 5.0 or a 10.0 fluorescent bulb, and fixture.

Here are the things you need

- Fluorescent bulb and fixture- $50 at Petco or Petsmart

- 10 gallon tank- no more than $15 at Walmart

- 10 gallon screen top- $10 at Petco or Petsmart

- Heat lamp- $10-$15 at Petco or Petsmart

- 60-75 watt bulb- $5-$10 at Petsmart or Petco

- 2 hides- $15 at Petco or Petsmart

- Foliage and climbing material- $10-$15 at Petco or Petsmart

The least you could spend is maybe $100.

Okay for taming. I really don’t know too much about it but, I think if you handle your lizard every couple days it would probably get used to you. Since these are wild caught lizards, I would think that they wouldn’t be too terribly social, but they could get used to you. Oh, and let the lizard have some time to get used to everything before you do any super extensive handling. It may bite you, just a nip, but that normally means in fence lizard "GET THE HECK AWAY FROM ME!" And you wouldn’t want to stress out the lizard so... Just give it time.

And you also need a UVB, still. Lizards aren’t cheap pets that you can throw around, spare no expense.
