Out with the old and in with the new

[Kinra]

I bought a complete new setup for the uromastyx lizard I got from craigslist. I feel much better about his new setup.

Old setup:

Not sure on the dimensions of the tank, but it seemed way to small to me.

New setup:

He's now in a 30gal breeder and has a heat lamp that also puts off UVA/UVB.

The happy little lizard:


Feedback is always welcome on the setup, but I'm a little on the broke side now (total cost for everything plus calcium powered was $203) so it might take me a little while to get around to changing it.

Nice ... You can see progress in life quality.. It's like moving from 3rd grade apartment to nice little condo

much better than before that old tank looked like a 20gal tank. the 30 gallon is better but I wouldn't house an adult in anything smaller that a 40 preferably a 55. but still looking good. I just got my little hatchling a few weeks ago and have it in a 40, but will be moving to a 55 when it gets a bit bigger. They are very active lizards and benefit from lots of floor space.

I actually traded him with my local reptile store for a female pastel ball python. I'm sure the person who got him has him in a better setup. When I re-did his setup I was on a budget that I still went over, but he really needed a better home and proper heat.
