Go to this website and order this
https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/images/detailed/12/ZM_T5_Hood_ep9z-yd.jpg
Use the bulb that comes w/ it -- it is a 5.0 perfect for that 20 gallon tank ---- for now when you go to a larger tank you will need to change out that 5.0 for a 10.0 bulb
GET RID OF THE COLORED BULB------------- they can cause long term eye damage and disrupt their sleep----------------- this would be causing some of the stress marks-----------
Lights are on 12 hrs on 12 hrs off ----------------- no light on at NITE AT ALL --- you need a digital probe to see what temp is in that tank at nite nothing below 65 -------- they like it cool and dark '

Fine for now but get your UVB ordered please ----- or you will really start having issues w / him---- basking temps need to be taken w/ that digital probe for accuracy and that hammock you will not get a good basking temp you need a good piece of decor that sits under the basking light ---

So I just leave him in his tank for right now so he can get used to it . Or do I take him off once in a while

That or the log hide but you need a digital probe to set the probe on for 10 minutes to get an accurate temp

Let him get used to his surroundings and he needs to bask for at least 4 hrs per day --- you should be letting him get used to you and go slow --- approach from side not from top they have a 3 rd eye for predators --- he could have the stress marks for a while -- no those are good- please get them

He’s looking better now thank you
And yes I got them I’m waiting for my pay day on dry day since I don’t have the full money for the light
And with his pores is it normal that I can see them ?

Are you talking about his femoral pores? They are back by his vent by his back legs?

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
