We have a few different types of reptiles and while they do have some differences there are some things in common also. Our tortoise for example is recommend that they bask in the sun light outside. He is kinda slow so we don't have to worry to much about him running away. :D

So this got me to thinking why not do the same with the BD? You would have to have a secure enclosure but I would think a few hours of sun light would do them some good. A wire cage with some basking spots would allow them to move around and would keep them safe from predators. You would have to have water and shade so they don't get too hot. And these guys are faster so you would have to keep your eyes on them at all times. And maybe just hanging out on your shoulder while your outside would allow them to soak up some UVB.


Anyone else allow your BD to bask outside? Got any photos of your setup?

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
