that sounds great guys, thank you so much. I need to go to Walmart today and I will get one :) I appreciate your help again

ok I think the humidity dial was off, I tried one from my cigar humidor and it seems to about about 40 or 50 which seems more resonable... what kind of humidity device would you recommend (to a poor college student)

I have no water dish, I dont have any live plants, I just usually wash the fresh vegetables before giving them to him and it seems to be enough liquid for him. There is nothing else inside that could create humidity....

Hey, how do you lower humidity in an enclosure? I have the temperature perfect, but the humidity is like over 70, and I even changed the sand with dry sand, but its still high, are there any secret ways to lower humidity or anything?

he seems to be doing better, and i got him some crickets; thanks for the help

I am using a ReptiGlo 10.0 UVB Compact on one end of the tank with a All Living Things Basking Bulb (75W) at the other end of the tank, with a regular indoor lightbulb in the middle to help regulate the heat. I feed him some veggies in the morning and then some in the evening, usually about 5pm...

thats all I have fed him in the last week, I gave him some small crickets about 8 days ago. the sand is sifted playsand and the basking temperature was measured at about 108 (with a degital probe) with the other end of the tank reading about 80-90 degrees (with a T-Rex round stick on thermometer).

My guy had a really weird excrement that looked like diarrhea or vomit..... I haven't been able to give him live food in a few days but have been giving him vegetables (butternut squash and mustard greens), so I thought that might be what was causing it. I posted some pictures, so if they gross...

awesome, thanks =D

Hey I just had a practical question.... how do you guys/gals regulate the 12/12 day/night cycle? Do you use the expensive power bars that pet stores sell or is there a cheaper alternative? I was thinking about trying my Home Depot/Lowe's to see if they had any kind of timers.

I had this same question, thanks for the perfect reply =)

oh ok thanks, I just wasnt sure if they like spoiled or if they would be ok. thanks =)

hey how long can you leave squash out there before you need to take it out of the tank, if he doesnt eat it?

yeah, I named him El Guapo after the 3 Amigos.... my wife and I decided to name our pets after characters from movies we grew up with =). Oh, and I was going to take out the water dish but he seems to enjoy running over it lol, and the humidity is about 50 with it in there, so that's about...

alright I bought the playsand and filled his terrarium. Oh, and my brother got some strawberry scented ESU Reptile Iguana Vitamin, and it says for all Herbivorous Reptiles, would this be ok to use or should I avoid it? oh yeah one more thing, how long can I leave the cut squash in his terrarium...

Hey thanks for the welcome =D. I actually took pictures the first day that I got him, I just didn't get a chance to upload them. So here are the pictures of El Guapo.

oh awesome neecie, thanks. And thank you too all you for making me feel welcome.... hopefully this all works out, I am a little intimidated now at reading about all the things I might be doing wrong, but I appreciate everyone's help and advice... and hopefully El Guapo survives my ignorance.

awesome thank you very much, so I shouldn't 'dust' the pellets?

ok well thank you all. I think I will go get some playsand tomorrow and some live food for him. My brother and I might end up breeding crickets, since his Oscar and Picu like them too. I appreciate all the help so far, and if there is anything else on that list that I cant use please let me...
