I read a lot about them but I need a little extra help. I just got him a few days ago and hes still a baby. I named him Beadie. I started off with a 20 gallon and got all the supplies. But then i found a bigger tank for a good deal that came with a bunch of furniture so i got that. I'm using the same bulbs that i was using for the 20 gallon which is one UVB 18" bulb and two 75 watt heat lamps (one day, one night). Would that be fine? Or should i get a bigger UVB and higher wattage for the heat lamps? He seems to be doing okay but i just want to make sure. Also he keeps trying to climb the sides of the tank. I read that this is probably because he is stressed and i cant figure out why he would be. I gave him a lot a space in his tank so he doesn't feel cramped. I feed him like 10-15 crickets two times a day and i give him 10 minute baths once a day so he can drink. Anything else i need to do? and how to i get him to eat the salad i give him too? should i feed it to him with tweezers? what do i do?
