Giant plated lizard

[Jeox]

getting a 2ft + guy with a forked tail.
I can't find care sheets anywhere...Anyone know anything?

 

[phantoms]

good temperments for the most part, easy to care for
how are you setting him up?

 

[Jeox]

Ghetto style.
This big rubbermaid tub with a screen on top.
I can't find anything on housin, but I'd assume something like a bearded dragon cage, but bigger?

at 2 feet i think you need like a 75 gallon.........plus you are going to want to get it a nice hot basking spot. i always use full spectrum lighting on my lizards

 

[Jeox]

im not sure how big this tub is, but it's BIG.
Whats the proper heating?
Do these guys NEED uvb?

 

[Connor0729]

if hes diurnal, he needs UV lighting. what are the dimensions of the tub?
