i dont even know where this little guy came from. i live in a pretty busy city, no desert! i just figured out what type of lizard he is from a friend who knows about this reptile things. but he doesnt know anything about the care/feeding/etc specifically for this creature.



this is where i stand. the lizard is small, approxiamately 1/2 inch long. so im assuming he is a baby.



today as soon as i saw one of the people put a link to ants...i bought him ants...no telling when they will be here however.



i got little tiny worm things from petsmart...what the guy suggested i do for now...so im not sure.



i also got him a pretty big terraium. i want to say like 25 gallons?? is that good. i got a little water bowl for him and sand for the bottom...



however, i do not understand the lighting setup he needs!! please help. i have read all the message boards and just dont get it...am i buying two lights or one. what kind? how do i create a cold and warm side etc...



i just need someone to lay it all out for me because unfortunately even me without any knowledge but trying to learn is better than him outside with no habitat at all on a busy street!



please help me asap!!! i have a big heart!! dont want the little guy to suffer but i need guidance! thank you.
