What kind of lizard?

[eon aquatics]

What kind of lizard would like a high humidity/warm terrarium with lots of spider wood and cork rounds to hide in?
Im also curious about what kind of lizard would take some time to explore not only in the cork rounds but also on the spider wood and pothos.

How big is the terrarium and what is the humidity?
Anoles come to mind first but they are really more of a display lizard than a pet like other reptiles.

I think anoles would work. You could potentially do a breeding colony (1 male and 3 females in that size). Either brown or green are fine, really depending on your preference.

what do i do if they breed? collect the eggs and put them in a 20 gallon terrarium?
I was thinking a "Backdrop" of spider wood could look nice
With some cork rounds on the bottom among ferns or something like that

could i use aquarium safe silicone to mount the spider wood upwards on the back wall?

I don’t see why that would be a problem.

To my knowledge, for most hobbyists the hatchlings don’t last very long. Either they fail to thrive or get eaten by larger lizards.
To eliminate breeding concerns you could do all females.

Would a earthworm bucket farm work for food?

I don’t think they will eat much of earthworms (though I’ve never tried with mine). Crickets and flies would be better.

Most reputable put stores that deal with will have starter colonies for things like meal worms, silk worms, Dubai roaches etc. All you have to to is open it up and they start doing thier thing. Has food for the new hatchling bugs that won't hurt your lizard. Several companies makes them like Zoomed, Imagitarium etc.
