its being kept in a 10g enclosure right now i only have simple 60w bulbs above it right now which i know arent nearly warm enough..

and i understand they dont "like" to be held im just saying he always runs back up my arm when i try to put him back in the enclosure (probably bc my body is warmer, which i keep him close most of the time to keep him warm)

do i need uva or uvb bulbs or does it matter?

also how many should i use for a 10g enclosure?

and how do i regulate the day/night temps without leaving the bulbs on at night?

and i should use newspaper or paper towels for now until hes 6-7" rather than sand?

and he has not been to the vet that i know of, but i will surely take him tomorrow



im slowly learning about how to take care of him

the previous owner had no idea what he was doing or how to take care of it so i didnt know what to do, he didnt even know what kind of reptile it was

im sorry if you think im an idiot, im just trying to save him..
