Im pretty sure you meant "no loose substrate".Drache613":3urdq5li said:Hello,
I agree, the raw, unpasteurized honey is excellent & can help ward off infection. Be sure you
are using loose substrate also to keep it clean.
Which UVB do you plan on using for him, the tail base does look suspect for metabolic bone
disease, so he will need good quality UVB.
Let us know how he is doing.

As far as lighting, as of now I have 75w basking light and compact reptisun UVB 10.0 florescent bulb (I bought on the way home) in a dome fixure. The previous owner did not have a UVB light at all ?. After I did a little more research I realized I'll be switching to a mounted UVB florescent tube.
<<<< if it's a 13W version , put it back in the box and return it to the shop to exchange it for a 25W UVB200 for the short term.
Make sure there is no mesh under the UVB and it's no farther than 8 inches from the basking spot (the 25W version), will have to right on hop of him for the 13W version (not practical).
Consider investing in a Ceramic Heat Emitter , and a T5HO 10-12% UVB tube + reflector hood longer term.
Will this brighten up his colors or should I not expect much of a difference?
