I have a uva
uvb light of 20 watts - 50 desert (whatever that means) And another smaller one with a slight blue tint.
Ok if you can return this please do so.These are pretty bad bulbs.You should try to us a linear flourescent called the reptisun 10.0 or reptisun 5.0
A 40 gallon tank...a nice rock, some tree branches for him to climb...a water dish...mulch for softness...a pretty spacious tank for a little guy.
Ok mulch is a problem.It holds humidity and can cause serious impaction which may be a problem here.Babies and Juvies should be on solid substrate.I recommend you switch out to papertowels,repticarpet,ceramic tile or non adhesive shelf liner.
ive only scooped up one little bit of poop so far...
The crickets look to be adult sized...(i have them dusted with vitamin)
Ok pleas dont use anymore of these.The crix should be no bigger then the space between is eyes.A baby his age should be eatin 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch crix again serious impaction issue as well as they can scare them.
as for the temp - i cannot b sure because i do not have a monitor.
Big problem.Temps have to be monitored.They need a basking surface of 95f-110f in order to digest food or again they will become impacted and if its too hot they get deydrated.
I am worried and at a loss.
He is otherwise a happy health looking beardie...Basks up on the branches...is very alert and holds head up...walks around...But his apetite worries me greatly.
