I got Autumn roughly a year ago, August 2010. He is from Sandfire Dragon Ranch and a gift from my older sister. I had no idea what I was getting into. I got him home and put him on crushed walnut shells, fed him dusted crickets and mealworms every day. I then found this thread and had to start all over lol. He started in a 20L and has upgraded to a 40 breeder. He grew like a weed when we first got him and thought he was a she for the longest time, hint the name. When he started popping orange and yellow colors, we just stuck with it.
His set up is simple but efficient. He has a stick like thing lol that he has had since he was a baby that he loves. This is what he basks on and the basking temps range from 100-103°. He has a Repti-sun mounted inside his cage roughly 8" from his basking spot, but can get 6" away if he chooses. I have a regular 75W household bulb for his heat source and a 15w bulb for added light on the other. It has came to the point where I am worrying about brumation, so today I added a large hide I made out of a usps flat rate box. I added my old shirt that he sleeps on inside the hide for added comfort. He was not impressed when I placed it into his viv today. I will add some pics in a little bit.
Thanks for reading.
