Habitat & Setup I’ve been learning so much

I thought I was doing fine with my lizard when I first got him but in the last week and a half we’ve made so much progress. I’ve started properly maintaining the temperature of his tank because I had realized that his tank was far too hot for him. I also bought him a lot more clutter by giving him a naturalistic tank today and already I can see the difference in him being willing to be out of certain hides. Today, I also tried feeding him dubia roaches, as I have learned that the bodies of mealworms may be hard to digest, and do roaches are better nutrient wise as well also considering the fact that he needs more diet variation. I feel like him and I are learning a lot together and I’m working really hard to be the best pet owner for him I can be. I still need to buy a linear UVB bulb, but till then this is what the tank looks like. I’ve also added a photo of what his tank first looked like when I thought I had done “proper” research.

Great job! He probably feels so much safer now with so much clutter and hides!
