Hi, Donny is now around 6 months old, 15-16 inches long (don’t know weight). This photo was taken last week, I have since upped his bugs slightly as I thought he (or she) looked a little underweight?
He is in a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft viv, and will be in a bigger one in the next year. There are 2 UV tube lights, one 10% one 2% and a 100W heat lamp. Temps under the basking spot range from 35-45, warm end 30, cool area 25-27. Substrate is Exo Terra sand mats or newspaper but hoping to switch to tile (any recommendations would be great).
Meals are twice a day, usually 25-30 calci worms with the odd mealworm in the morning. In the afternoon, 15-20 calci worms, 5-6 medium dubias and then either 12-15 medium crickets or 6 crickets + 6 locusts. I dust all of these with calcium and vitamin powder 5 times a week, and they are offered potato, orange occasionally, and then any greens or veg I put in his salad.
Salad wise he is still not great at eating it, I hand feed him some of it which he will eat (particularly fruit) but there is fresh offered every day. A mixture of spring greens, kale/rocket, carrot, squash and tomatoes a few times a week, cucumber occasionally for hydration and then grapes on a few days. A water bowl is also in the viv and changed daily.
