help me. He-man is a Madagascan Plated Lizard or commonly known as Peter's keeked plated lizard. Right now I have him in a 10 gallon with aspen shavings on top of paper toweling. He likes to burrow under the toweling. I have a combination water dish and hidey spot. I have mealworms and wax worms and crickets for his diet. Also have superworms available. What kind of diet, lighting, heating, temps and cage size is optimal? I have a basking light from my beardeds cage shining into his cage for the moment and a heating pad under the cage (one of those stick on thingys).

Here are a few webpages on Husbandry to give you a start. Although I have kept them in the past I prefer you have some basics before we go into detail.
