Jewelled Lacerta Care Guide (timon lepidus, eyed lizard)

Equipment:


100W solar flood basking bulb:

For both heat bulb and plant lights I use DIY ceramic bulb holders, wires and plugs from screwfix. It's relatively simple to put together, works out much cheaper, and they screw straight into the roof of the enclosure. This allows me to use standard size bulb cages, rather than extra long ones.

Bulb cages - this will not fit most premade reptile light fittings :

Substrates:

Perlite bulk bag (I used about 30L in this viv) :

Organic soil - local garden shops often have much cheaper brands (I used about a 100L of soil for this viv) :

Orchid bark chips (I used 10-20L in this viv, and i boiled/washed it first) :

Moss (I used the full bag, plus extra for wrapping around some plant roots, boiled it first since its wet and untreated from this brand) :
