Hello everyone. We just purchased our 1st BD. His/Her name is Spike. He is adorable. It is the 1st time we ever had one and to be honest I don't know anyone who does have them. Let me know if I need to change anything. Spike is only a litle guy he about 5 inches from tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. I put him in a 50 gallon tank w/ a screen lid. I have a 75 watt heat light and a 36" ultra-violet reptile light. We turn the lights on at about 6 am and it stays on till about 8pm. Spike usually climbs into the plastic plant on the cool side of the tank an snuggles in to sleep. The one thing I noticed is that he seems to sleep alot and doesn't realy eat any of his greens. He does eat crickets, I usually give him about 3-5 crickets 2 times a day. Is that enough or should I give him more. I am afraid of not doing something right and maybe he is not as active as he should be. We Hold him about an hour or so each day. Is it normal that they lay around alot? Oh ya I also bath him. Do I need to leave food in the tank all day or should we only offer it a few times a day.... Please help me out here...I am afraid I am not doing something right.
Thanks Jennifer
