Terrarium

First thing you need to know is the tank size and tank shape. Because these lizards like to climb, it is better to have a tall tank rather than long one. Tall tank will also let you to put some fancy fake or even real plant in it. Normally, 20 gallon tank is good for a pair. and remember males are also very friendly. They are no territorial reptiles. So, you can easily accommodate two males in the same tank. Terrarium has to have a cover and make sure it has good air ventilation system. It is always easy to maintain a certain level of humidity in a completely closed tank but, it is not healthy for the lizards. Lizards need fresh air. Air circulation is also good for the hygiene in the tank. If you are thinking of building your own terrarium, aluminum covers are great and they are rust and heat resistant.
