I think i will use a box. That would be much easier to change. Do you worry about him eating outside bugs? I'd put the enclosure in our garden. There are always grasshoppers flying around. We don't use pesticides, I don't think our neighbors do.

I've got a problem I did not see until I got my lizard on the new 'rocks'. I did not make them wide enough for her to turn around easily. Just something to keep in mind if you decide to try the foam.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Thank you! I was thinking of using a sand mixture for her to dig in, but with it getting wet I don't want bacteria to live there. Maybe just a spot of sand... I'll have to think about it. Thank you for the ideas!!

BTW my Viv is 24, gets plenty of heat. I think I have a 60 watt bulb in there, I'll check. Stays about 96 degrees on the hot side.

I know you said foam alternatives, but here's how I worked with my foam. Maybe it will help you. first random pile, I made a tunnel under mine. drying, I bought the foam for about $15 and used power lock adhesive applied non sanded grout with a brush, about 3 coats sealed with modpodge, it's...

Isn't it great orsola83?! I'm new here too, but have gathered a ton of info from this site/people!!! :D

Another point: I live in Alabama. The heat index right now is running at about 100 degrees. I know they're desert creatures. As long as I give her a hide and some shade, will she be ok at these temps? Or should I only let her out morning/evening?

Does anyone have an outdoor "pen" for their dragon? I've been thinking of building one and thought maybe there are some good ideas out there. I take Lizzy out to get sun a couple times a week, but she usually just sits on my shoulder or lap. I thought she might enjoy some kind of enclosure...
