Helpful Tips

Below are a few general guidelines. This page is here to help beginners who have all the basic questions I did when I first started. The statements made here are to give you an idea of what to look for when learning about your specific animal. For example; What should the enclosure be made out of? To answer this you need to answer several questions including temperature (room, ambient enclosure and hot spot), humidity (room and enclosure) and substrate. So you find out that your water dragon needs upper 70�s ambient and a 90 deg hot spot. Your room is only 70 deg. You need a solid material (wood, plastic or glass) The humidity needs to be high . They need a water dish and they are going to splash. They also need a moist substrate. Knowing this you can determine that you need either glass or plastic. Then you find out that they do not see glass or plastic and constantly rub their nose on it and scratch at it. Ok, plastic is out leaving you with glass.

There is no one answer for all animals. This page will help you find the information you need to make the right choice for your pet. If you have surfed the net, talked to breeders and consulted the library and still can not find the answer email me and I will do what I can to help.
