So I got Leo a basic starter kit from petsmart. And the desert decor kit. I also got the zoo med combo lamp. I have the Exo terra 13w desert bulb and infared heat lamp for day. And a backlight heat lamp for night. Is this an ok setup or should I do something else?

Hello,

You have a compact/coil Reptiglo light, correct?
You will need a long fluorescent tube bulb instead. The compact/coil lights are not very good & don't emit the proper UVB wavelength. We recommend either the Reptisun 10 tube or the Arcadia D3 12% tube.
For a basking light, you will need a bright white basking light but not a red or infrared light. It isn't bright enough to protect the eyes against the UVB light. For nighttime heating, you shouldn't need any heating unless your house falls below 65 or so. It is ok to use a ceramic heat emitter at night. A black light is ok, but be sure his head is covered so it doesn't disturb his sleep.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
