Introducing Clay and Gizmo! These two little guys were introduced into the family exactly a week ago. Not sure of their genders yet, but they are four months old! But I wanted to check if I'm doing everything right, I'm a new reptile owner. They both live together in a 40 gallon tank. Is this too small? I have a 150 watt infrared light from ExoTerra, and the UVB light is from a desert reptile kit that came with the tank.. I actually just gave them that ExoTerra lamp today, as their basking spot's temp was only 80 - 95 degrees, and the new bulb brought it up to a whopping 105! I hope this isn't too hot for the babies. They're both eating pretty well. Gizmo, I believe, is still going through relocation stress and won't eat too much, but I always pay attention and she at least is eating something. Clay, on the other hand, will eat anything in front of him. He was even willing to try the fruits and veggies I gave him/her! I always spray them every morning, (I read somewhere that that's good for them.) and if I'm having doubts that they know that the water bowl is actually for drinking, I take a needless syringe and put a droplet on their nose just to make sure (Clay's actually watching me type this lol.) I have a wooden hide that they sometimes use, a corner hide that has a little cave in it, and a large brach thing that they love to climb on to get closer to the light. I hope I'm doing everything right.. Please give some feedback and possibly some recommendations! Thanks
