ok. I will Water and substrate: You can use pot soil, bedabeast or eco earth. 3 in deep for burrowing purposes(never use sand or play sand with spinys I have had losses do to impaction) May have small water bowl.. but I personally would not recomend it...it is best to pour water on leaves and objects or mist cage 1 time a day. Water bowls take away their natural instinct to lick water off of leaves and can cause stress at first. Or inability to find water. Lighting and heating: NEED a 5.0 or 10.0 UVB and basking area with heat lamp. basking areas should be over a elavated rock or branch to retain heat and natural feelings. NO HEAT ROCKs!!!!! These cause severe burns which often lead to death. Temp and Humidity: Need to have hot and cool side (to change blood temp.) cool side = around 75 degrease, also needs a dark cool hiding spot or cave. warm side= 80-90 degrease Caging: 20g tank for one adult. Need dark cool hiding spot on cool side Need a clear area to run around in Put sticks, logs, and vines all over cage for climbing Elevated basking spot. Rotton logs to dig into is their favorite. Put slabs of bark around cage for burrowing under leaf litter for hiding under if scared or stressed BACKGROUND lizards get LOTS of stress looking out the clear glass and being contained at the same time. always use a background on three side A hide on hot side Diet: Crickets half their head and smaller about 5 a day. dusted in calcium vitamin d3 sup. 1or2 times a week may treat them to worms, grass hoppers, beatles every once in a while. Never feed juviniles or babies meel worms. exo skeloten can be to hard to digest. I dont even feed my adults meel worms. And their favorite treat is the butterfly. they love to jump and snag them out of the air.. Maintenance: Clean out cage totally with bleach or vineger and water until spotless. when this is done all cage ecsesories must be cleaned the same way. and new substrate. I once a week, spray my lizards and cage down with ’mite off’ Hope this helps. .. sry I just kind of threw this one together. not to detailed. bbut ill post a better one later. kinda tired right now. Good Luck! hope it helps |
