The water container MUST be changed daily even if the lizard doesn't use it very much.Hi, how much supplementary D3 do you recommend, bearing in mind supplements are mostly pure guesswork, and some of no benefit?Why offer fog food when there are so many more "natural" options available (other than it`s cheaper and easier for the keeper?If the basking surface temp is in the low 40`sC there is no real need to worry about the ambient around that area so long as there are cooler places to retreat to. The coolest parts only need to be around 21c or so, nighttime can be a bit lower.</blockquote>
