Important husbandry requirements for some lizards
| Species/ Habitat (vivarium) | POTZ | Humidity | Lighting | Diet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bearded dragon (Pogona spp.)/ Terrestrial, desert | 25-30 | 20-30 | UV-broad spectrum | I,c,h |
| Green anole (Anolis carolinensis)/ Arboreal, rainforest | 23-29 | 70-80 | UV-broad spectrum | I,c |
| Green iguana (Iguana iguana)/ Arboreal, rainforest | 30-35 | 60-80 | UV-broad spectrum | H,i,c |
| Leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularis)/ Terrestrial, desert | 25-30 | 20-30 | No specific requirements | I,c |
| Plumed basilisk (Basiliscus plumiformis)/ Arboreal, rainforest | 25-30 | 70-80 | UV-broad spectrum | I,c,h |
| Water dragon (Physignathus lesueri)/ Arboreal (semi-aquatic) rainforest | 25-30 | 80-90 | UV-broad spectrum | I,h |
Note: temperatures shown are ideal ambient daytime temperatures (POTZ).
These should be allowed to fall by approximately 5 C during the night and hot spots may be 5 C higher.
- I - Insectivorous
- H - Herbivorous
