Thanks! The reptile rescue center I volunteer at should have a 75 gal or larger that a herp was kept in so the water type wouldn't be an issue. I also heard some things about uro-dust so I was surprised Doug said to use it. I was also surprised he said to give her a few insects 2X/week as well. I was ready to discontinue all insects when he told me he/she was over 1 yr old. The little guy/girl is 7 1/2". I was using a calcium supplement that my vet recommended. What supplementation would you recommend? She also isn't too keen on her salads. She does like dried lentils. Any ideas on when I'll be able to reasonably guess at his/her sex? He/she has a plain white belly with enlarged femoral pores. The color is a bit drab with some banding and yellow on the sides.

I think I overstated the handling. Also, when my uro is with me, she likes to "suck up my body heat" and take a nap. At what temperature is it ok to take them outside? My beardie will go out at 70-75, but I don't want my uro to get too cold.

Thanks for the input!! I'll be visiting the rehab center and pet store later to get my little one off to a good start!
