Hello santa brought us a RT for christmas and he was in a reptile aquarium but it didn't seem very big. I made a new home for Snappy, that is what my 6 year old named him. I have some questions and would like any suggestions.
It is 3'x4' and has a laminate wood floor and timers for the uv light and heat lamp. I will attach a pic. I leave the uv light on for 14 hours a day and have been leaving the heat lamp 24-7. Should I turn the heat lamp off at all?
What should I use for substrate and how much? The people at petco reccommended these wood chips but after reading some post I don't know if that is good.
We live in southern MN and can't make a place for snappy outside yet and will be building something for him outside this spring so he can be outside also.
We are new to all this and would greatly appreciate any help/
