Im kinda new to the reptile thing and this forum but ive always been fascinated by animals especially chameleons and geckos. I was wondering what id need to start a complete setup and probably a care sheet (Any websites) before i actually get the lizard.
Ive only got a 3ft tank but im thinking of a complete reptile enclosure. Where can i actually buy a setup (Shops in Sydney). Im pretty sure i will be getting a baby knobtail. Any info will be much appreciated. |

that will tell you pretty much what you need to know about care

Either heat half or a third of the tank it doesn't really matter as long as there is a gradient.
