How do you set up a lizard cage?

Answer 1

Well it really depends on the type of lizard. all lizards however need a basking area which is a area higher above than anything else a log or tree would be perfect. They all are going to need a a water bowl some types of lizards will need two separate water bowls like a bearded dragon will need one to soak in and one to drink from. they will all need bedding i recommend a type of bark because most lizards will dig and if the dirt gets in their eyes it can cause infection in the eyes which can lead to death so i would use bark to be on the safe side. You will need to have a thermometer and a humidity gauge. U will need a food bowl as well unless u r going to feed them crickets but if u didn't feed them anything else besides crickets put the crickets in a bag a pour some calcium powder into a bag and shake the bag so your lizard will have some calcium and not just protein. You could also put some fake or real plants in their it will help them be in tact with their natural environment. This is what u should have in a lizard cage no matter what depending on who u but your lizard from i would look at the habitat they were in when you had bought them and get a some more ideas from what should be in that specific lizards cage. HOPE THIS HELPED :D

To set up a lizard cage, you need to provide proper substrate (such as reptile carpet or sand), a heat source (like a heat lamp or heating pad), a UVB light for proper calcium absorption, hiding spots, water dish, and appropriate decor for enrichment. Make sure to research the specific requirements of your lizard species to create a suitable and safe environment for them.
