Thank you so much! That makes me feel better knowing it can take some time. He loves when I hand feed him but he just doesn’t want me to pick him up and he shys away when I try to pet him in his tank. I’ll try the food rewards and see if that helps :) And awww I’m glad you have a snuggle bug...

Hello hello! I have a question about handling and taming. I’ve had Bucky for about 2.5 months. He’s a growing boy! I try my best to handle him every day but he still runs away from me. When I go to pick him up I go from the side as I’ve read about them seeing shadows if you try from above. I’ve...

It’s the T8, I got it before I found out about the T5, so I had my husband lower it in the tank, thinking about putting it down another inch. Here’s his updated tank.

It goes between 100-110 depending if the air conditioner is on. UVB is inside the tank, it just looks like it’s not because of the mesh xD

The UVB is inside the tank, sorry it’s not a great picture! It’s 10 inches from the floor

Hello hello! I’ve had Bucky for about 2 months now. He’s doing great! I do have a question though. He mainly hangs out under the basking bulb alll day, he rarely goes to the cool side of the tank. My infrared thermometer is measuring the hot side between 100-110 degrees, and the cool side is...

It’s no problem! I appreciate the feedback! I just want him to be comfortable. I lightly sprayed him today, enough that he wouldn’t freak out. I don’t think I should give him a bath or anything at least until tomorrow evening since today is my second day of having him. I haven’t touched him...

Thank you! That makes me feel better! He was shipped to me so I imagine he’s still recovering from that as well

I have the UVB inside the tank, you had answered my question from a previous post and told me it looked fine..I’m thinking about lowering it further in the tank but want to make sure it’s secure and won’t fall. I have the infrared heat gun and the temperatures are good. My husband refuses to let...

It’s a 40 gallon breeder tank, he’s just a little guy, 6inches. I plan to upgrade when he gets bigger. He just ate 6 Phoenix worms and a hornworm. Now he’s just chilling on his basking log. Not sure if he’s nibbled at any greens yet. He’s been closing his eyes while he basks. I think he might...

Ok! I just taped some printer paper on the sides, so far that’s the only place he’s been staring/glass surfing, I think the white wall behind his tank helps with not seeing his reflection on the back. I’ll order a background soon though just in case! Anything else I could do to help his dark...
