The ambient temperature should be from the low to mid 70's. The substrates that should be avoided are the dry, dusty substrates such as sand and wood chips or shavings.Īrmadillo Lizards enjoy almost room temperature weather the ideal basking temp is 75°-80° Fahrenheit. However, there are some substrates that aren't good, some can be downright poisonous to animals both of those categories should be avoided. No one substrate is the best, each has its own good qualities and its bad qualities.

Stress in any animal can lead to sickness and even death. Without plants and places to hide, your lizard will be very stressed out.

This behavior is remarkably like that of the mammalian armadillo, which explains the common English name for these lizards. They are insect eaters and have an interesting defense, in that if frightened, they will grab their tail in their mouth and roll into a ball. They are one of comparatively few live-bearing lizards The underbelly is yellow with a blackish pattern, especially under the chin. They live in social groups amongst rocky outcrops, wedging themselves between the cracks and crevices of the rocks. They are diurnal creatures, reaching an adult size of somewhere between seven to nine inches in length.
