I have also created a video "So, you want a plated lizard" with most if not all that information. I wouldn't recommend live plants as they will destroy them with their size and sharp claws. You can use all the fake plants you'd like! I have had success with temperatures from 65* low and 110* for a basking spot. I usually base my temps on their country of origin. Hope this helps!

They best way to gain trust with any of your lizards would be to use food. Use tongs and get the animal to start feeding from them. Then you can move the tongs closer to you or your other hand (balled in a fist) if it comes over to pick your had (to see what you are) you're on the right track

@TheReptileRoom1 Жыл бұрын
That will depend on what you use to construct it. I used 3/4 furniture grade plywood, a heavy pond liner, and 1/2 acrylic panels. I was thrifty and got the acrylic for free and reused my plywood. If I had to buy it I'd imagine this enclosure cost close to $1000 in materials. Acrylic is the big price killer.

If you're thrifty and change the enclosure design you can make them for less. I just had this stuff laying around. If you didn't use acrylic you'll save a TON. Try using a wire mesh for the sides. I have had success with that as well. Or finding an old big bird cage on Craigslist and some sweat equity!
@erikm8372 Жыл бұрын
Tbh, if you were apprehensive at all about getting the lizard out, once you were in the enclosure, why not just slowly tip the box onto its side... and it'll run out? lol. I dont always thinks its absolutely necessary for us to grab our reptiles by hand. Yes, it helps and is fastest, but if it's a more skittish species, I usually factor OUT manual removal…whenever possible, I try to corner them into a box (when i needed to move them) and then simply open the box when its time to let them out again. And i let them crawl out on their own. Same with mail orders. You see these unboxing videos, snakes, and everything-people film themselves excitedly taking the animal out immediately by hand. I’d say just set the container in the enclosure and open it, and let them find their way.
@TheReptileRoom1 Жыл бұрын
I agree, we typically let animals climb themselves out of any container we move them with. Unless we have to grab them we have stayed fairly hands free with our lizards lately. It's helped gain trust with them.

Get those damned water troughs out of those enclosures, the humidity must be through the roof in there. A small water dish (without bubblers) is all you need. The Zonosaurs can have some humidity, but the Sudan Plateds should be very low humidity and a very hot basking site about 120 f. I always fed mine dog food (dry and wet).

I will not be changing the water. They are very active and run in and lay in the water! Super cool to watch. Their basking spot is very hot.

That sounds like a cool project! Luckily the snake shouldn't be affected by the original finishes on the wood. You can certainly sand and repaint. I do not have any specific product I use for that.

I like your tunnel system idea. This could work for lizards that are solitary, but you want to breed. Each can have their own enclosure, and maybe a central enclosure for mating. I'd add a way to gate off each tunnel in case one lizard starts following the weaker one and bullies it. Having owned habitual systems for hamsters as a child, make sure its easy to remove the tunnels for cleaning.
