feedback1="'''Incorrect''' This heat source is considered suitable. Monitoring of both maximum and minimum temperatures is essential and thermometers should be positioned in the cooler area and the basking area. [[Lizard Housing|WikiVet Article: Lizard Housing]]."
 +
feedback3="'''Correct!''' Hot rocks are not recommended as a heat source for lizards. Their thick skin is without cutaneous sensation, leaving captive reptiles at risk of thermal burns. Furthermore, most lizard species, such as iguanas, derive external heat from basking in the sun, not from laying on rocks heated by the sun[[Lizard Housing|WikiVet Article: Lizard Housing]]."

feedback2="'''Incorrect''' Heating pads are considered to provide adequate warmth for a secondary 'hotspot' area but not as a primary heat source due to their localised nature. [[Lizard Housing|WikiVet Article: Lizard Housing]]."
