Hey guys.
So I got an old rainwater tank (with a base) and intend to use it as an outdoor enclosure / lizard pit for Turok.
It is 1.65m tall. Not sure of the diameter but my guess would be 2m.
Have left about 10-15cm of the lid intact to prevent any escapes or uninvited guests,
Really just after ideas of what substrate I should use (also how much / deep) and generally how I should lay it all out? Obviously I'd want something that holds together well so he can burrow.
Would you use one or two big rocks or a bunch of smaller ones?
There is a spare outlet not far from where the tank is so I could use a heat cord in a hide box as supplemental heating for cold nights / winter. Would that be enough or should I use overhead heating too?
Thanks guys. Much appreciated.
