Captive habitat of any animal should be attempted.
Adequate air circulation certainly is necessary in any enclosed lizard habitat to prevent air stagnation, and in the case of tropical rain-forest environments, to prevent the growth of molds and other fungi. An answer to the question of producing an air current within the lizard’s habitat might be the placement of a small circular fan above the terrarium with the top of the enclosure at least partially covered by a screen. If the inhabitants retreat when the fan is turned on, try locating the fan further away from the terrarium. As with all electrical appliances, never allow the fan to come into contact with water.
As far as providing heat and light are concerned, the available alternatives make it seem reasonable that daytime lighting using a mixture of suitable fluorescent tubes and incandescent bulbs rated at 60 watts or less is the safest and most efficient way of meeting these requirements.
