Mountain
Horned Lizards are tree dwelling lizards found in the mountain forests of
Southern China and Southeast Asia.
These lizards are docile and make hardy pets as long as they are kept
well hydrated with moderate heat.
Maximum size: 12”
Lighting: Full spectrum fluorescent UV
bulbs and a low wattage basking light are required.
Temperature range: Day 71°- 82°F Night 68°F
Food: Crickets, waxworms, and mealworms coated in calcium and vitamin
powder.
Water: A container of clean water
should always be provided.
Housing/Habitat: Their natural habitat can be simulated with an aquarium equipped with an under tank heater at one end. The bottom of the aquarium should be covered with a jungle mix type litter, landscaped with plants, rocks, and driftwood for basking and climbing. Frequently misting the terrarium and substrate will provide the necessary humidity.
