I want to share pictures my two new Uro babies I purchased from Douglas Dix at a reptile expo last saturday.
They've been hiding in the cave quite a bit and I haven't seen them eat a whole lot. I think that might have to do with stress of their new environment. I want to leave them alone as much as possible and not lift the cave or handle them. I removed the bird seed substrate I had in the tank, because I was worried they were munching on that too much and not the spring mix. I didn't want them to become impacted.
For now I am using half and half butcher paper and tile. I am still working on their temps. I understand their basking needs to be 120-135, hot side 100 and cool side 80. I have been trying out different basking platforms and at the moment I am using two large rocks I found in my yard.
They seem pretty lethargic since I brought them home. Hopefully they improve!
