I used to keep my Ameiva at lower basking temps and was just recently reading that these guys do like higher basking temps. Mine is incredibly sensitive to change of any sort. He will not eat cat food, ground turkey, or ground beef unless it is to grab a quick bite. He much prefers insects of just about any sort, earthworms, egg on occasion, and a pinky once monthly.

When I first got mine, I covered 3 sides of his enclosure with black construction paper. There are a lot of plants and hiding spots. They are pretty skittish, but fun to watch.
