ok, i am new here and would like a little advice.
i have been researching the mali uro and have decided i would like to buy one.all of this came about because there is one at the local pet store that is in a very small ten gallon tank, the are feeding canned veggies and mealworms. they have only had it for about a month and they claim it is two months old. i felt really bad for it so i paid half for them to hold it and now i am doing my research.
i was hoping if i told every one what i had you could tell me if i need to change any thing
(cage is all set up and waiting for uro)
cage size: 72x24x24
substrait: poolfilter sand
lighting: uvb (mounted inside the cage 12" from the place the uro would be fed) a basking bulb and a ceramic heat emiter (for night)
temps (taken with a temp gun) hotside 95-105, cool side 79-85
basking spot #1 110, basking spot #2 129
food purchased: bird seed, lentils, carrots, squash, endive, dandilion greens, ecassoral, bock choy
hide: three of them one on the hot side, one on the cool side, and one in the middle.
there are also several logs and rocks to bask and climb on.

i think i have covered every thing. i just need to know if the cage is ready for the mali to come home
i am open to any suggestions
thanks
