I do believe the tank is a bit small It's about 24x12. I have some rocks in there for him to hide under. The temp is about 103 at the basking spot and 85 on the cooler side. and a burrow that is at 80.
The lizard is about 3 inches long nose to base. This lizard was bought at a small pet store. It has 4 dominate horns flat on the back of its head pointing strait back. The limbs seem to be very thin yet the body seems to be bloated and his eyes seem to be a little sunken. I do not believe impaction is in issue because I find small amounts of excrement around the tank. The sand I am using is a fine grain and the same type I have used for my other pets. Today I have found him sitting in a bowl of watter. I do mist him but I always leave a water bowl.
