Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

advice keeping abronia graminea in exo terra
Am currently making a vivarium/terrarium on exo terra 36x18x36 in hopes to keep a pair of abronias. I don't have the option keeping them in screen cages and most care sheets are for people who keep them outside. I like to know how keep them in glass cages, specifically what uvb to use? Night time humidity? What should humidity be threw out the day, I currently have a fogger on a timer.

Here is a decent one I've had bookmarked that uses exoterra brand enclosures. Hope it helps!

I have done it successfully, but was sure to have a multiple fans for internal air flow as well as turnover of viv air. Josh does his quite well, however I would use DC fans in lieu of AC powered.
The humidity isn't super critical as keeping air flow constant.
"If you feel the temperature is comfortable so will your Abronia" the best advice i received from a breeder

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.
