i've recently purchased a baby sulcata at a reptile store. well, actually my brother did. anyways, i've been searching on the internet and can't really seem to find straight answers, or when i do i find another article that contradicts what i read somewhere etc, etc.
1. i purchased a red light from that same reptile place and the guy said to leave it on all the time. online i've read i need a uvb/uva light and basking light is that right? do i leave them on all the time? is the red light insufficient? what happens if it doesn't have the proper lighting?
2. i've also noticed the nose area of my baby is a bit dry. is that normal?
i've attached a picture so you can see what I mean.
3. is spinach healthy for my tort? i read you aren't supposed to but then in another place it said it was perfectly fine. same with bananas and strawberries.
4. what is the best substrate for my baby? currently i have those pellets i bought from the reptile place.
yea, that was a bit lengthy sorry about that. and these questions have probably been asked before but i can't find them i apologize if these questions get asked too many times. any help is greatly appreciated. :]
