Hi Everyone.
I got Rudy 2 weeks ago, the reptile shop owner said he was around 1year old. I'm in Scotland so he is inside but in summer I will be building a big outdoor run.
He has settled in really well. He is eating well (dandelion, plantain, raddichio, spring greens, clover, pansies), I also bought the Mazuri pellets but he is not keen on them?! I put calcium on 5 days and Nutrabol sat/sun - not sure if this is the best way but I have read a lot if differing opinions.
I soak him every morning for about 20mins, he usually poo's and passes urates (like toothpaste, no grit) in there.
His basking temp sits around 33c and cooler end around 20c. I mist the hot end about 4 times a day as the humidity is dry, not sure if this is ok? It's an exo terra combo 125w solar glow bulb.
Just wondering if I'm doing things ok? A nervous new owner I guess! I'll add some pics.
Any info will be well received .I have read the RT care sheets and they are fantastic. I love this forum!

*I moved the terra cotta pot where the log hide is to create a more humid hide for him...
