He seems to be much more active recently but still seems a bit clumsy he just over-balanced when climbing on one of his rocks and rolled onto his back so that is worrying me a bit I'm planning on booking him in to an exotic vet that is about 30 miles away from me on Monday hopefully I don't get...

He's been doing alright the new lighting should hopefully get here by the end of the week

Ok thanks for your help I'll add that to my shopping list I'm doing a bit of a viv overhaul at the moment so it's gonna get expensive but he's worth it ?

Ok thanks and most sources seem to think that it's best to mount it on the ceiling towards the back or front to create more of a light gradient so that they can get away from it a bit if they want to

The t5 bulbs seem to be different lengths the inside height of his viv is 16" at the lowest and about 12" under his heat lamp and the width is around 47" the t5 kit I was planning on upgrading to is the arcadia t5 pro with a 12.0 bulb and built in reflector the bulb lengths are 22" or 34" which...

I should of explained ceramic heater and a daytime light that can be turned on and of at day or night

I'm using a t8 I've not been able to find any reflectors to mount on the top of the viv I've only been able to find ones that mount on the back wall but I'll keep looking

the Camera on my phone is not great also at the moment I'm redecorating his viv so it's a bit simple until I get the new parts in he weighs about 285 gram which is a bit low but not technically underweight the fat pads on his head also seem all right but I am trying to fatten him up a bit with...

He has a 10.0 reptisun uvb tube which is on between 7am and 8:30pm his temps are around 38c-39c in the hot spot during the day and I drop them down to about 20c-24c at night his diet is mostly spring greens and some shredded carrot to add a bit of colour he used to eat locusts but in the past...
