Hello everyone,
I need to go over my first 4 days with our new baby CH "Sheldon"
Day 1 - was very active in the reptile store. The place was like a hot box,
no AC. I hand fed Sheldon lettuce, he ate and drank at home also.
Day 2 -4 all seem basicly the same. I wake up and put his lights on,
dont know what his schedule was like before, but I put fresh water &
his spring mix with shredded carrots and he eats, walks around a bit &
then finds a good corner and makes himself a little hole in the substrate & settles in.
So , eats a bit, walks a bit, sleeps a bit seems to be the schedule. Doing this several times a day. He seems to be a real good eater.
My house temp is 74, with the lights on, his house gets to the mid 80's.
We live in So. FL so normal humidity is in the 60% range, plus when I mist
his substrate that boosts it to the 80-90%.
I have been soaking him everyday. Also, I have a few questions, sorry
if they might sound stupid......
At 2.5 inch SCL, can I guess to say hes like 2 months old ?
At what age can I introduce fruits ?
I haven't seen him pee yet ? Nothing visual yet, he drinks daily.
The reptile store employee said the lights should be on for 8 hrs ?
I have a ReptiBasking spot lamp 50w & Reptisun 10 mini compact fluorescent.
It that too long, or should I break it up to like two seperate 4 hour intervals since
hes so little ??
Thanks
Thanks
