hers the info i gathered up when i originaly thought i was going to get a small group of these lizards but got some night lizards instead.lengthwise they dont get much longer than four or five inches max.you could probably keep a pair in a 10 gallon but a twenty gallon tall would be good for a male and
2-3 females.provide plenty for them to climb on such as vertical pieces of bark and stuff like that.they are from south africa so most people keep them in semiarid to savanna cages but i have heard of some having success with a rainforest setup.their food will be pretty much baby pinhead crickets and the smallest of mealworms.you might also try leaving a little dish of fruit baby food for them to lap up.for water you will most likely have to mist them a few times a day along with a small water bowl since they drink water droplets left on leaves and bark.a small wattage basking light should be used on one side of the cage also.hope this helps.
