Ameiva cage build

[ameivafan123]

Hi guys, as some of you know I have an ameiva (from the locality of PR, AMEIVA EXSUL) and I've finally building custom cage for her that is 4'x2'x2'and im really exited to move her to her new cage beacouse I have her in a 10 gallon tank. And I also found out that ameiva eggs incubate at 80 to 85 Degrees F. Do I need an incubator if that is the ambient temp in my house?... It would be really cool to produce the worlds first captive born Ameiva Exsul babies . Tomorrow i will take some pics of the inclosure and keep you guys updated.

You don't have to have an incubator, theoretically, but it helps to keep everything controlled. Try finding a cheap Hovabator if you decide you want an incubator.

I bet she's excited about the enclosure, too. A 10gal is waaaay small. Congrats on all your excitement and progress.

Nope, their from the teiid familly and the most common ones sold as pets are the green ameiva or as some people call them, the Amazon race runners (Ameiva Ameiva). So (ameiva exsul) is the same lizard but from this locallity and are a little smaller than the green ameiva. Nobody in the island works with ameiva exsul beacouse they are concidered a pest. To me their awsome.
