Here is the way I'm keeping him....



10 gallon tank



full spectrum uv lighting from an 8.0 bulb



Basking spot is at least 95 during the day (was told to leave it this way until he's a little older...by a breeder who's been doing this stuff since he was 16....he's now 45....so I'm going to trust him on that one.



He has water, vegetables (bok choy, kale, collared greens)



He is not sick since I took him to vet and checked out fine.



He did not come from a pet store as pet stores sell [bleep]ty stock.



He came from a breeder who does not inbreed and has healthy stock...he would not sell sick or weak animals...that's the way he is...(known him for a long time)



He will eat 1 cricket a day (med sized...I said earlier "big" but med sized is kind big compared to his head...he can easily swallow them and has no trouble digesting)



I think I might try pinheads to see what happens......Any other insights????
