we are using a repti-glo 8. thats what kinda they said to buy, i have 1 100 watt and another 65 watt towards the middle of the tank to keep it a good temp the uvb is on his basking side as well as the 100 watt bulb he is about 7-8 inches away from it i did a temp test this morning and it is approx. 103.9 where he basks. i thought it migh thave been too hot with that bulb but its only 103 which is still a bit confusing.. i have a digi therm. with a 39 i inch probe. im not exactly sure how much he weighs my mom has a jewelry scale though do u think that would work? im using repti carpet and we clean it every day and change it every 2 1/2 weeks. i called the vet and she is gone until monday... the symtoms she had were a little different she looked more malnourished than anything.. very wrinkly all the time even after she ate. which was hardly ever. .. when she finally regained her appetite back it would take her up to 4 days to poop and he doesnt even have close to that problem, he poops once a day... if he skips a day thats it though.. no more than 2 days with out poopin. which i assure u i kept her well fed and plenty of vitamin supplements... we use the rep-cal calcium with vit.d powder that says to only use once to twice a week though so we use another one which is the regular reptocal we use that every day usually and the rep-cal every other day to maybe 2 times a week, spray him 2-3 times a day... i try to feed him veggies but the only thing he will really eat is baby food i usually give him peas, and sweet potatoes and i mix water and a tiny bit of dragon dust into it. and he is about 5 1.2 months old. sorry to jumble everything together like that... i just wanted to answer all ur questions. i have one question as well... how much does it normally cost to take them to the vet? thats what i fear the most... i cant even afford for myself to go to the drs.... but i'd like to think of him as a kid so he definitly comes first.
