Caught this guy a while back. Found him/her sprawling up the driveway at my office building. Chased it up a water pipe. Waited for it to come out, and grabbed it as it ran under some stage fittings.

Practically still a baby, I give it crickets doused with calcium powder, alternatively chicken liver every couple of days.

Made a custom hide for it with two plywood boards cornered with short wooden-legs. A basking bark and a water tub with some substrate mix of bark-chips, smooth gravel and sand. The side-panel is removable in the event I wanna have a peak into it's hide.

Really loves the water, still skittish and flighty but hopefully with time, it'll will get over it.

cheers and best regards

wow id be willing to work loads if those was crawling about mt work place lol well done for catching it and congrats its gorgeous

awesome critter and set up.but i will mention i hate when people take from the wild aside from helping a wounded animal.its not fair to them as they had freedom and now they are confined to a humans visual pleasure box. yes everything comes from the wild at one point but captive bred have never known the outside world.im sure everyone gets the picture.
arachnids and insects are fine but herps and mammals in my eyes is just wrong.i failed to mention this in that guys rattlesnake post.

im not telling you what to do or judging just sharing my opinion on the matter take it how you want.
call me a hippie if you want cause i probably am.i avoid stepping on critters,even ants outside and apologize to grass and trees i step on,climb on,or break limbs or take bark from.i also apologize to the insects i feed my scorpions and give them the best lives they could have before sacrifice.
good day sir

What animals do you keep shining? All captive bred??

i care for a ball python,convict cichlid,ghost cats,glass fish,skirt tetra,goldfish,guppies(all definitely not in the same tank)chihuahuas,cats,pitbull all captive bred.
my emps i doubt were captive bred as they were from petco and my c.sculpts i caught in the backyard of my grandparents.arachnids and insects dont apply to the same rule to me.

i plan on more herps but definitely will be captive bred.

oh yeah i forget to look at where people are from.that is true people do eat rare items(to us americans anyway)where you are from.
growing civilization and modernization do kill natural habitat and alot of creatures die crossing roads.
i agree totally with the birds and mammals being the extreme and people taking certain animals for granted.
having you said that i thank you for your efforts and saving him from a possible far worse fate and i also thank you for replying with respect and non condescendingly like others have ( ) or would.

What a SHINING model of a modern gentleman. LOL.

Awesome lizard though. Shining, I'm with you on the wild animals in captivity thing. The zoo is the most depressing place on earth.

Alex, I'm also with you on saving wild animals from untimely fates at the hands of man. I brought in a toad I found. I live in the city and see smashed animals all the time.

Glad we find middle ground Gents!!

omg zoos and pet stores make me cry.

Man oh man. There is a shop out here that is sooo brutal. They should be shut down.

you should train them in the art of the habitats and husbandry.

i hate how pet shops dont offer hiding spots and little to no substrate for viewing purposes and cost efficiency.

im questioning if my chihuhuas are captive bred even though i helped deliver the litter from the mom.the most lil vicious creatures ever!!!

Do not like them. My dad has one. It gets in my lap but if I touch it, it goes mega psycho.

seriously.bi polar natured.we have one just like that one looks like "yo quero taco bell".
