A very large habitat is required, with adults needing a minimum 8’ enclosure. Temperament: Bold, active, inquisitive, and usually not overly aggressive. This species is known to utilize all available space within the habitat. They can be very fast. Biological niche: Diurnal and terrestrial, but also enjoys climbing and perching in arid, rocky environments. Native Range: Central Australia. Commonly found along cliff sides, rocky outcrops, and rugged terrain. Kept as individuals only. Pairs should only be introduced during breeding season. Care at a Glance Vivarium size Adults need a minimum 8’ enclosure that is at least 2’ tall. The more space provided, the better this species tends to thrive. Juveniles can do well in a 4’x2’x2’ habitat until around 3 years of age. Deep substrate (Terra Sahara with 40% Terra Firma mixed in), along with large cork tubes, sturdy branches, rocks, and large shrubs or trees, is preferred. Temperature Provide a hotspot of around 95F with a cool side around 70F. This species tolerates natural temperature fluctuations better than many others. Humidity Humidity should remain low, around 30%, with brief spikes up to 50% during parts of the day. Diet Frozen / thawed rodents only. Never fed live. Recommended Bioactive Setup  Firma X Sahara mix (40/60) Mixed leaf litter, heavy botanicals, and wood throughout the substrate. Substrate should be a minimum of 10” deep for adults. Productive clean up crew: Giant Canyons, Giant Oranges, and Dwarf Whites can all be utilized (Dwarf Whites remain in the deepest layers of substrate, while Giant Canyons and Giant Oranges stay more active on the surface). Dense live planting with hardy arid species such as hibiscus trees, yucca, and ponytail palms works well. Small plants will not hold up to this species. Natural hardscape with heavy branching, cork tubes (they love fitting inside them), rocks, and multiple elevated basking areas is ideal. They benefit from UVB, with a recommended Ferguson Zone of around 2.
