00:00Want to give your lizard a cool, comfy home?
00:02Here's what you'll need to build a mini jungle, or desert, just for them.
00:07Start with a glass tank, something roomy enough for your lizard to stretch, climb, and explore.
00:12Bigger is usually better.
00:14Lizards are cold-blooded, so they need heat lamps, or mat-like in this case, to stay warm and active.
00:20It helps them absorb calcium and stay healthy.
00:23The bottom of the tank needs a cozy layer.
00:25Use coconut fiber, reptile carpet, or sand, depending on the lizard's natural habitat.
00:30No sharp woodchips or anything they might swallow.
00:33Add little caves, rocks, and branches, so your lizard can climb, hide, and chill out.
00:38They love having cozy corners to nap in, and spots to bask in the heat.
00:42And a bonus, live plants.
00:45If your lizard's species likes humidity, add live plants.
00:48They make it look like a jungle, and help keep the air moist.
00:51Just make sure the plants are safe for reptiles.
00:53With a little love, your lizard will have their own tiny paradise.
