Went with a fairly obvious name, but it suits. Anyway, I'd just like any recommendations on my setup! It's just a start, obviously going to have to get bigger but let me know any advice for now! I'd appreciate it:
20 gallon long tank (for now) Got a 100W Repti Basking Spot Lamp, a 100W Ceramic Heater for at night(room gets to about 65), and a ReptiSun 10.0 UVB/UVA 12" in the hood. I know the stick therms aren't reliable, but its showing his bask area as 95-100 F, and the cool area around 70-75. I believe the bask area needs to get a bit hotter, but I placed an order for something for him to climb closer for that. As well as an infrared therm.
Also, I got him yesterday from petsmart and I've only been able to get him to eat one cricket... he just ignores them. Placed an order for Dubia Roaches and Phoenix Worms. I noticed their tanks humidity was pretty high so I'm guessing he's getting used to the heat again. Also assuming that it's new home stress but shouldn't he be eating something?
Anything would be appreciated! Thanks!
