|
|
Just thought i'd introduce my new additions
They are a pair of long nosed leopard lizards, Gambelia wislizenii - I suspect they are male and female from the size difference and are about 2 and a half years old
I'm considering the practicalities of hibernating them this winter, presumably under the same guidelines as collared lizards? Though am a little bit worried about maintaining a cool temperature! Will have to research it a little bit more, but it would be nice to see some more of these guys CB
They're really brilliant little lizards, i'm so pleased with them They are my first diurnal, non-gecko lizards, so it's quite a difference in husbandry and personality!
Anyway, here is their viv - currently in a preliminary stage of decoration, I am planning on creating a fake rock background/climbing system for them. They have also since done some decorating of their own, creating various excavations
This is the two of them together:
Olly on his own:
And Poppy, who fell asleep leaning up against the runners!

Thank you very much for your comments!
Hopefully the viv will be looking better at some point, once I get round to doing the fake rocks for them! Am looking forward to it - I bet I make a complete mess of it though  _________________ Sophie
