Hey guys,
My name is Teddy. I had a Russian when I was younger but it sadly passed away around a year after I had it due to an illness. I'm thinking about getting a new one and have done a ton of research. I'm planning on getting a 40-gallon tank to start as it is the biggest reasonably priced tank (Do you think that's okay?). My questions are:
-What should I supply for accessories in his tank?
-What should his diet mainly consist of?
and the thing I most need to be answered is:
-I understand I need a UVB light, but for basking and getting heat to the hotter side of the enclosure, should I get a heating pad, heated rock, or heating lamp?
Thanks, can't wait to be an active member of this community!
