I havn't got round to posting any pics of spikes tank up yet, been too busy posting pics of lil man himself:)
Anyway I started with one of my old aquariums, chucked out my old custom lid and put a new one together, I have a 75W basking light and mini reflector embedded in. A 30" Repti-Glo 10.0 along the back, 2X air vents with a metal grill to stop escape.
A digital thermometer on the basking spot & another at each end.


Inside the tank I made a fake rock piece to cover the entire back wall, there is 1 cave on the cold end that was made for spike to sleep in and one more open cave on the hot end, then a ramp up to a basking spot( he uses it as a climbing wall instead lol!)

Anyway any feedback or ideas on my project would be helpful.

Thas great! But I think repti glow is one of the kinds of UVB lights that can hurt their eyes. I would look it up and see for sure.

I'm sorry, the bulb is one of those that they say can be harmful. I don't think this is true but to be on the safe side I'm upgrading to the arcadia 12%:)
Thanks

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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. 😔
