Hey evryone! So a while back, I asked people here what the best substrate to use was and mostly everyone said "slate tile." So, I ended up getting it and it looks fantastic. Anyway, the first 2 weeks I had the new tile in Gandolf's cage, he was always running around, sleeping up on his basking...

So little Gandolf has had carpet substrate since he was a wee little thing. Now, he is about 18" and in a 40gal tank. He has lots of room to roam and hang out but I am starting to get real tired of cleaning his carpet so often when he poops. Because I can never clean it fully and residue...

Alright everyone thank you for your input! Gandolf has started eating a mixture of Escarole, butternut squash, and dandelion greens. I can't seem to find mustard greens or collard greens anywhere :( and he's kind of slow to eating his greens (it takes a while for him to even check them out) but...

I've had little Gandolf for about 6 weeks now and he will only eat Parsley and sometimes Kale. I want to be able to give him a really good salad though every morning; something with as much nutrients as possible, as well as diverse as possible (so it's not only 2 ingredients) as well as his...

No it's not a coil it is the tube lol sorry I forgot to mention that

Thanks a ton! Yeah I keep reading how sand is bad, tile is great, but Carpet is good all around ha. Question though, how will adding 2 more backgrounds on the sides help? Does it reduce their stress? Is there anything in particular i should put up on the sides? Like could i just go buy some...

It's only about 4-5" I believe. It's not the long kind, but that light fixture up top has 2 bulb slots so I have my night heat lamp on the shorter side and the reptisun on the longer side. This picture is just a little outdated since just last night I switched the basking bulb and night lamp...

Hey everyone, just recently got a 40gal viv for Gandolf. I bought a dual-light fixture for him thats 18" on the top right here with a reptisun 10.0 UVB on the left side and a 60w basking lamp on the right side of it. And don't worry that dial thermometer/hygrometer is in there for Gandolf to...

This is Gandolf! Got him about 5 weeks ago and love him! He's so much fun! :D

Yeah I really hope they mellow out! Gandolf is about 10" now (not sure bout age exactly lol) and yesterday I finally took him out to roam around. He ran all around my living room, trying to climb walls, climbed all over me, and it was fun! He kept trying to go under the couch though. I...

So I recently just got a 40gal viv and I've read on ere the best way to get full UVB is by using an under-the-counter type fixture inside the viv under the top. However, how are these setup? My viv has a sliding top to it so it slides forward. If I mounted the fixture, would it slide with the...

I'm the proud parent of "Gandolf the Tan" and he's awesome!

At what age should you start letting them out more? My little Gandolf is I believe 3-4 months old (he's about 8") and he loves escaping. I take him out a couple times a day and he leaps and any opportunity and starts running away. Is that normal or bad? Will he chill out eventually? I just want...
