Hey this is pretty cool. This might get interesting. This is for Arg B/W by the way.
1. New born’s cage- Atleast 20 Gallon cage. (2x1x1)
2. 110 degrees
3. Mid 70s
4. mid 70s, basking temps
5. 50% (if moist dirt provided to dig then wont have shed problems)
6. ATLEAST 8x4x4 IMO. Mine is getting a 14x10 outdoor coming spring.
7. Very docile and calm if worked with regularly.
8. Anywhere from $50-150
9. 2 years.
10. Generally insects and small mice.
11. Whole foods, fruits, veggies, and many other foods are safe.
12. about a foot long tip to tip
13. Over to 5 ft.
Agama international and varnyard herps seem to be the best.
Cost of food a week is not bad for me but i breed my own mice/rats and chicks.
Overall great pet and grows very fast to be a very impressive animal.
