So I bought a Leo hatchling, and a 3 month old.
Just looking for reassurance that I'm doing this for the most part correctly.
The tank is a the large exo terra 36Lx18Dx12H
Replaces the wire mesh top with a plexiglas top I cut , helps with humidity greatly
Under tank heating pad to keep substrate warm on timer, just to keep a little warmth in the ground and help humidity
3" organic top soil
1/2" to 1" cypress mulch
Some edible plants
Hide with moss warm 88° and humid
Water dish and basking tile
60watt heating element keeps the tank 80°- 81° one end and 85°-86° on the other .
The humidity is lower on warm end 70%+-
Basking area is 95+
Zilla Slimline Desert 50 UVB T8 Fluorescent Fixture, 15 W / 18 IN
Soak them every day around 9AM
Feed spring mix so far this week with cactus , hibiscus leaves . Dusted with calcium/D3
Seam to be doing well.
The hatchling we got last Friday and he is really doing great , eats , poops walks about sleeps, repeat
The 3 month old we got Tuesday of this week and he eats , but sleeps alot ,basks , will eat on his own but few bites and seams like he loses interest.
Both will eat out of your hand and I have a grassland seed pack comekng to plant.
The three month old I'm not sure has pooped yet, if so it's very little.
He popped alot in shipping box but not much now that we have him I am keeping an eye on his weight .
When we got him he was 91.66 grams now 94.26 grams so gained 2.6 grams in 2 days.
So I'm just waiting on a good bowl movement so I know he is good. Just think he may need a few days to settle in?
So I'm thinking over all conditions , look good maybe not perfect but acceptable ! ?
Any feed back or just a simple yes it good would be great.
Really trying my best to make all this work.
