also i was trying to find what type of uvb/uva blub to get i use the compact ones for my redfoots but i have red you should not use them for a leo. I hava a mvb lamp but it is a 160 watt and the lowes i can find is a 100 wat. I don't want to cook him. any ideas

 

[John]

Well there ya go name it shoulda......... as far as lights the compacts are not good for any tortoise that has eyes from what I understand, powersun makes a good bulb

 

[wildponey21]

ok well i have red that i shuld soak him evry 3 days is that to much or too little

 

[Greg T]

At that age, you should probably soak him once a day, or every other day at the most. This gives him exposure to water, helps clean his skin, and will keep his digestive system moving (he's gonna pee and poop in the water). Good luck with him, you have to keep a watchful eye on the babies.

How about Rhette? Congrats on getting your baby.

 

[wildponey21]

ok thanks for the help. I just have never had a tort this small. so i want to do everything right.
