Yes, 1st reptile of any kind. Wanted one for a long time. Mostly just reading about them. Saw this one in a pet store, was so red compared to the others, had to finally do it.
Please feel free to critique my set up.
40 breeder, mesh top
24" light inside enclosure with Reptisun 10.0 bulb
8" reflector with a 150w Exo Terra basking bulb (only heats basking area to 95 degrees do I need to get it closer to the 105 threshold? tank cools to 68-69 degrees at nite)
This over 3 levels of rocks 7", 10" and about 12" from light source
2 crappy thermometers 1 on each end 9 didn't know they were crap until installation)
1 good digital thermometer on basking end
1 digital Hydrometer reading 25-30% humidity and 72 degrees on cool end
Diet; pellets recommended by the store , medium sized cricketscalcium dipped twice a week and small super worms
as of yet zero interest in any fruit or veg I have offered.
thanks!
