| Humidity: |
A humidity level of approximately 50% is what
a Plated Lizard will require. |
| |
|
| Physical Design: |
The Plated Lizard spends most of its time on the
ground while in the wild so you do not need to provide
many branches for climbing. Be sure that you do
give it plenty of places to hide though. |
| |
|
| Size: |
These lizards are fairly large so you will need
to provide them with enough room to move around.
If you are using an aquarium tank then use at least
a 40 gallon tank. |
| |
|
| Substrate: |
The Plated Lizard loves to burrow in the wild
so provide it with a deep enough substrate that
it can do so in captivity. |
| |
|
| Temperature: |
A temperature range of between 80 degrees F and
90 degrees F will suffice for the Plated Lizard.
It should have a basking area that is slightly warmer
at about 95 degrees F. |
