Reptile & Amphibian Forums

so i decided to put a smaller hide in with the guys instead of the big comfy and i think they like that one. maybe the big one made them feel insecure. i think they prefer smaller spaces... what ev, they look comfortable.

btw i cought little rocky in the act with my other ladie, and i think i might get more eggs!! sadly lizzies died, but hopefully ill get one more chance this season.

I'm new with collareds, but I am amazed at how they seem to like small hides. I have a range of rocks in my enclosure with clean sand over a layer of tiles. My lizards often dig at the base of the rocks and crawl under, into spaces that seem so small to me. Then they sit there, peeking out, with big smiles on there faces.

haha yeah my little guy is sitting at the base of his hide right now just looking out.he will peer around, then go back inside. then he will come out again.the little space in between the rock is less then a an inch, but he squeezes in there. i think he feels very secure in there. im not sure that its so much of a warmth thing that they all sleep togeather, but a security thing. the warmth always helps tho!!! they are great little creatures!!
