Mountain Horned Dragon Temperature/Humidity: Ideal daytime temperature for mountain horned dragons should range between 70ºF and 75ºF. Additionally, a basking lamp should be used to maintain a local temperature of 80ºF to 85ºF. Nighttime temperature should remain between 60ºF and 65ºF. The humidity for these lizards should be kept at or near 75 percent. Lighting: All mountain horned dragons require ultraviolet lighting to maintain good health. Ultraviolet lighting is recommended for 12 hours per day. The use of a timer will help to maintain an accurate lighting schedule.

Feeding/Watering: Horned dragons are mainly insectivorous (eat mainly insects). Insects should be dusted with a vitamin/calcium powder. Suggested insects are: crickets, mealworms, superworms, and waxworms. Worms such as earthworms, red wigglers, and butterworms may also be included in their diet. "Dragons" require large water bowls for optional soaking. Water should be changed daily.

Habitat/Housing: Individual horned dragons can be maintained in a 25 to 40 gallon terrarium. A screen lid is essential for proper air exchange. These lizards are best kept singularly. However, for multiple pets, increase habitat size accordingly to ensure each individual has plenty of space to move about and not interfere with tankmates. A shelter for hiding is necessary, especially if multiple pets are in the same enclosure. Misting the habitat several times a day (allowing tank to dry in between) will help maintain proper humidity levels and allow for these tropical lizards to intake water in a manner to which they are accustomed. Substrate

(Bedding): 2" to 3" inches of Bed-A-Beast and moss is recommended for "dragon" terrariums to maintain the proper humidity levels within the enclosure. General info: These water-loving animals do best in large terrariums and benefit from the use of air stones in their water bowls and live plants. If possible, small water features should be included within mountain horned dragon enclosures to simulate the moving water they are accustomed to in their native habitat. Size: Adult length up to 12"
