AGAMIDAE - do you do anything special with your Diamonds outside?
I'm in Bris & have a Diamond arriving next week and was thinking about an outside enclosure for him as an adult.
Any feedback specific to Diamonds?

One of my MD carpets is outside in a cage. I think aslong as they cant get out and have plenty of hides, climbing stuff and opportunity to bask a bit they will do well. Make sure they can avoid the heat on hot days and gets some sun and and shelter when its cold. Additional heating shouldnt be needed unless you are keeping something that comes from a warmer area.

My God - those enclosures are nothing short of spectacular - congrats on a superb job!

If you're breeding Diamonds, let me know - I want the offspring of the Diamonds who get treated like royalty

Now the inevitable questions:

Why climbing trees in the Bluey's enclosure? I assume there may be Dragons in there as well?

What lives in the Outdoor Enclosure?
It looks like Disneyland for Monitors!

Thanks for sharing (and inspiring!)
