I just got a trio of Mexican Alligator Lizards, so I am no expert, but here is what I have noticed about them. They LOVE air movement. I have mine in a large arboreal Vision with extra ventilation. I have a 40 watt heat lamp which they DO use, with a cage temperature of 75 to 80 degrees. I have a UV light too, no water bowl but spray off the enclosure and all the plants 2 times minimum per day. I see them quite a bit, they do not seem to hate getting a little water sprayed on them, but it is room temperature water, probably would not like freezing cold water. I really see them when I turn the fan on. I have a large room fan, that I have pointed towards the cage. I see the plant leaves inside the cage slightly moving around, so know the wind is getting into the cage through the vents. THEY LOVE to climb up on the highest point when the breeze is kicking in. If you don't have some sort of air movement in their cage, especially in an inclosed cage like mine, you should. I have fed them crickets and some meal worms. They love the crickets for sure, but did not eat for a few days as they settled in.
