Well, we had a brown anole when I was a kid, but I wasn't the one caring for him and was only vaguely aware that his heat and humidity were somehow controlled.
His name is Pancake and he's in a very temporary set-up right now. He's shedding (and being misted).
This weekend, he's going into a much larger terrarium with um, actual basking rocks, not old books.
- 50 gallon terrarium
- Reptisun 10.0
- heat lamp fixture (with dimmer) + bulb
- temp gun
- basking rocks
And maybe I'll actually get a pretty background instead of using 97 cent posterboard from walmart. I feel like I go through a process with my tanks where they start out really ugly but get better over time as I learn more.
I'm looking at how to make fake rocks, but I'm not sure if I'm that crafty. It feels like decorating my aquariums was much easier ! But I guess I will have to read and learn more and maybe I'll learn as much as I have about aquatic plants and such.
Will be using paper towels while I look into something like shelf-liner or maybe tiles in the long-run. He has kale and collard greens and has eaten a few leaf-bits from my hand. In my rush to get him home and warm, I forgot the dubia roaches my friend was giving me. D: So I'll be getting him some crickets or roaches ASAP.
I have some earthworms for my axolotl on hand, but have heard mixed things about if they're okay for bearded dragons or not. It's so interesting learning about the different needs of different creatures. Earthworms are one of the best foods for axolotls, but it seems they are not nearly as nutritious or good for bearded dragons !
