So I've had Roger about 2 months now, he's 4 or 5 months and about 3 inches! Also the most adorable thing EVER!!!

I fixed up his cage and finally got his UBV bulb hung! I feel like his tank is so boring though. I mean I know they don't care about decoration but and advice on what I can do to make it less plain?

The temp is 73 on the cool side, 75-78 under the UBV, and 95-101 under the hot spot. Under his hide is a heating pad so it's about 77 in there unless he digs down ;)

I'd plant some seeds in there for him to munch on... You could probably plant straight into the substrate but I have a couple sandwich sized Tupperware boxes that bury flush with the substrate, that way it's easy to change when he's done and start new seeds for the next round. I have the mix from Sulcatafood.com and if you give it a few days to grow it both looks really cool and the grasses are big enough that it actually takes these guys a couple days to demolish ;)
