Are you looking for outdoor an enclosure or an indoor set up?

If you looking for an indoor set up here is how you set it up. I use 25 lbs of fine sand. One 20lbs bag of red wood mulch. A few large pieces of field stone or sand stone. One or more pieces of old dry oak branches. 55 gal. glass terrerium or larger. I personally have a 210 gal. old leaky fish tank. If you ask around you can usually aquire a leaky fish tank prety easily for free. Add the sand to half the cage and add the red wood mulch to the other half of the tank. I dump in about a gallon of water in the mulch and mix it in. Add you field or sand stone to the sand side and add the branches to the mulch side stretching into the sand side. For a water bowl You can either use a sealed pot with a branch stretching down into the water or you can use a sunken pan with a large field stone in the middle of the dish close to branches or other rock so they can jump back and forth, to get water as needed. Then add you lizards and your done. This set up works well indoors or outdoors. If outdoors, put it in a spot where it will only get either early morning sun or late evening sun. Direct sun in the middle of the day can cook the lizards trapped to direct exposure. In this enclosure you can witness breeding and with the mulch moist from water dropped in every now and then eggs laid in it should hatch on there own.



Hope this helps,
