About the heat for babie Leopards? So I want to know what is best for them at the moment. I have 2 bigger 1s downstarits and my real babie up stairs in a tank (shes really small i dont like tanks from stress and i have paper to cover glass). Any how the tank has her hot spot at 100 and cold side on 82 or so plus her hiding box water and what not shes doing good.On the other note the 2 have have down stairs there in a 6ft by 3ft tortoise table thats sweet! But in MI it getts around 65 degress down there at night. But thats with no light i have 3 lights on them during the day downstairs and its 85 or so under the lights. idk if i should put them all in the tank till summer when it gets warmer or not? i do house them in the tank at night due to chillie sometimes but day time let them down there.And get soked every other day.


Should i house them in the tank all the time? or just night time fine for the 2 and let them run around all day 3 lights at 85 degress on 2 and prolly 90's if not more on hot spot.Just wondering so they look great when they get older and happy thanks:)

ps.. tank is usally 80s at night

Read the threads below by my signature. The all over temps should be 80, with a humidity of 80 and a basking of 95-100. These temps with the humidity is for day and night time.

If I am understanding right. If there is no heat source in the downstairs and the temp is only 65. Then keep them all upstairs.
If there is heat down stairs of 80+ and basking of 95-100 then you can keep them downstairs.
If you have no basking down stairs, but the heat is still 80 or above, and you can bring them upstairs during the day for basking, then the older ones could stay downstairs.
If you keep all of them in one enclosure, watch for the youngest not being able to eat as the others might prevent of from getting enough food.
Did I answer your question:D
