Hi
I've been having a read through old posts and just wanted to ask a few questions:-
1. some posts have said not to use a uv light, I have always used the exo terra 10.0 strip light and its on about 8 to 10 hours a day, is this wrong? I also sprinkle nutrobal on his food but only a couple of times a week.
2. Also read that a few people use the pellet food which i thought was a big no no as his first owner fed him this and I stopped. Seen the Zoo Med Forest food, should I be feeding him this so many times a week?
3. His shell is quite dry and am not sure if it's due to me keep misting him but I spray the bark at least once a day but it seems to dry out quite quick. I've reduced the temp to about 76 and I use a ceramic heater with no reflector. I am looking to try coconut bark as this apparently holds the moisture longer. How deep should the substrate be as mine is probably only an inch. He's in a 4ft by 2ft by 18" wooden vivarium with glass sliding doors and air vents at the back.
Thanks for your help
