Information
Lizards
require places to hide in their enclosure, without these
areas your animal will become stressed. Stress is noticeable
by a lack of appetite and your animal becoming less
active. This is when sickness might occur. There are
a variety of substrates which can enhance the look of
your enclosure, while being beneficial to your animal.
There are some harmful substrates also; it is best to
check before embarking on your enclosure beautification
programme. Whichever substrate is used your animal must
be kept clean. Heat is very important for the well being
of your animal. Too hot an enclosure will kill your
animal within minutes; too cold an enclosure will lead
to serious health problems. The preferred temperature
gradient within a cage is 24 to 32 degrees. Your animal
will choose its desired heat by moving between the two
extremes.
