Re: Recognize This Lizard?
@minkness actually they have no way to hold humidity so they're quite a problem.

Re: Recognize This Lizard?
Not if the owner already has all the other stuff they say they have. The rocks wouldn't add any use to the set up, but so long as the temps and humidity are fine, and the owner os willing to clean them, there is no reason they shouldn't have them in there.

Re: Recognize This Lizard?
if the rocks are on thop of the dirt/mulch it wont make a difference.. also having a few rocks in just the corner wont make a difference..

Re: Recognize This Lizard?
Update: my coworker sent the pictures to someone he knows from the Herpitology department at the St. Louis Zoo and they got ahold of me asking if I would donate him to the Zoo to be taken care of (since he was injured) and get a nice big controlled climate enclosure! So today we went and dropped him of at their quarantine section! He seemed very happy to have a bigger, better cage!

Re: Recognize This Lizard?
And apparently it's a federal offense to sell these specific lizards, so please don't buy any. They're being illegally smuggled from Central America, often times with 3-4 lizards stuffed into empty VHS tapes.

Re: Recognize This Lizard?
Sorry, i didnt read the full thread, @minkness, you are 100% correct, i thought you were saying that rocks would be a fine substrate for the entire enclosure. My bad.

Re: Recognize This Lizard?
You can buy and sell captive bred and born if you have papers to prove it as far as i know, when theyre wild caught thats a problem

Re: Recognize This Lizard?
That is awesome that the zoo was interested! Also, didn't know that about the smuggling. So sad =(

Wouldn't it still require illegally caught lizards to make the babies though? Just asking but there wouldn't be a legal way I could see to get a breeding pair. So you'd still have to either smuggle or unknowingly buy smuggled lizards second hand to breed.
