Butterfly Agamas should be kept in an arid vivariam with a
deep substrate so they can dig burrows. Their enclosure
should be at least four feet in length and a foot in width.
Fresh water is essential to the survival of your Butterfly
Agama Lizard, and changing the water at least once a day is
necessary for the health of your lizard. The reason for
scrupulous cleaning and clean water is that even if it
doesn't look like your lizard has drunk from the water it
may still be dirty. Reptiles often instinctively use water
for their toilet. (In the wild that practice helps to keep
predators from tracking them.)
Research its needs before you get your Butterfly Agama, and
try to give it a habitat as similar to its native land as
possible, and your pet should have a long and happy life
with you.
