    We intend on varying his diet more when he's a bit bigger. We put of some fruit with his greens and a mushed up pellet for protein ever once on a while. He seems to only want the greens. We also have D3 and calcium supplements to put in his food.

    It's actually an infrared heat projector. So it won't get extra light. Then a uvb light T5 HO 5.0 that spans the length of the tank.

    New baby making noises

    We have. Also we've been told MANY different views on humidity. The reptile store we got it from says just to spray down an open enclosure twice a day. Others say have it fully enclosed. Some say 60% humidity others say 80% I'm so confused!
