I keep seeing these species kept in screen cages which really doesn't make much sense cause screen cages don't hold humidity well. I recommend a glass enclosure with a screen lid and possible cross-ventilation with a bioactive setup for great humidity retention.
Well that's the difficulty with these guys is humidity is important but so is ventilation. They require a cyclical humidity. 3-4 rainy days and then dry days. Too humid, especially for babies, can promote bacterial growth and kill babies. Its tough to raise these guys, particularly breeding them.
Being that they're a lizard that needs high humidity.....wouldn't a glass sided enclosure be a better option. I was noticing all the water on your floor after misting....😏
They actually don't. They're one of the few reptiles that don't. It's because where they live it's pretty chilly up into the mountains. Of course I don't recommend any crazy cold temperatures but my room which stays from around 70-74 degrees F is plenty for them.
I guess I should I said it different. Where I live. In winter they would definitely need heat. Getting into the negative regularly. The house gets pretty cold for reptiles. Especially at night.
Im really thinking about getting one very soon and i was going to go with the screen enclosure like you. How does the humidity hold up in the screen enclosures? Is misting it twice a day enough? Please respond i cant get an answer for this question any where! thanks a lot!
I’ll help I’ve been studying reptiles for 6 years. Screen tanks don’t hold humidity well like you said, tubs are better but provide limited visibility and are much cheaper. I would say misting it 3-4 times a week would be good.
I was just at a reptile show and found one throughout the whole show that was cb and I bought it… it was 650!! But they are hard to come by and you have to make sure you have your research

It’s like a Tiny Dragon 🔥🐉🐲
Really nice reptile ! & btw I don’t usually like music in the background but this beat was a really good choice !
Glad you enjoyed :)
i realize Im kind of off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Andrew Randall i use Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Iker Emanuel Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for years myself =)
@Iker Emanuel Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!!
Theres so mucht height in that tank to be used, also get a better uvb and add lots of spag moss and some bromeliads would be great
Appreciate the advice!
I would say you don’t need bromeliads but I guess they look fine.
Is a tank necessary?
Where did you order from?
Abronia!!!
Being that they're a lizard that needs high humidity.....wouldn't a glass sided enclosure be a better option. I was noticing all the water on your floor after misting....😏
They also have very sensitive respiratory systems and need lots of air circulation which is why people normally have screen tanks
WHERE CAN I GET ONE?
Hello, do you know why abronia graminea shake their head before they eat? it seems like they are hunting.
Honestly I'm not sure. A lot of lizards shake their prey to disorient it though after it's already grabbed it.
How does it breathe in the box?!
Cardboard isnt airtight! Thats why we keep cereal in plastic bags, because air gets in :)
What she said ^^^^
@@soapydragon5741 lol you got that from goherping unboxing video didn’t you😂
@@ryanflies6915 unfortunately not, it was due to me getting my head stuck in a cereal box when i was 5
Oh 😂
Amazing yr
Where did you get it from ive been looking everywhere
The breeder who I got it from doesn’t have any more. He only had four left when I got mine. Like I said, captive bred is very difficult to find
@@thekhalilzoo1145 ok well thank you
Backwater reptiles for 50 bucks is where I found one
@@brandonjustice5309 is that wild caught though?
@@Johnbovii they have a lot of bad reviews would not recommend
They do need heat.
no they dont. only uvb. ive been researching them for a while now

Yeah I would say it depends where you live
I was very scared
This lizard was based on my OC

where you bought it
I found a breeder but he's all out now. Like I said, they're hard to find captive bred.

Is it possible to keep the lizard in the condo without a tank?
