-Will loud music scare or aggitate my leo? It's not really all that loud because the tank will be in my room on the second floor of the house, and I usually have band practice and play drums and stuff in the basment. My beardie doesn't seem to mind, but will they?

I think it'd stress them. Imagine being kept in a tank and randomly loud sounds, you'd be stressed too.

-Should the heat lamp be on day and night, or just day?

I think UTH's are better... I find mine like to be able to sit on a warm surface. (I tape an indoor/outdoor thermometer probe to check temps)

-How do you feed yours? Like, give me a basic runthrough of how you feed yours (what insects? In tank or out of tank? etc). Also , give me info on feeding babies as well assuming I get them as babies.

I use silkworms. I have two females I adopted in a tank, ~6 month, so I put a good amount in.

-would a 15 gallon tank be enough for 2, or just one? What's the minimum for two? I've heard a lot of diffent opinons, and a general lizard book I have says you can comfortably fit 1 male and 3 females in a 10 gallon tank, but that seems a little unbelievable.

I'd say 1 max in a 10 gallon. I tried keeping two in a 10 gallon and felt they were very cramped. What are the dimensions of the 15 gallon? I use a 20 gallon long and they're very happy, plenty of room.

-What do you prefer for floor covering? I use playsand for my beardie, but I wouldn't feel comfortable at all using it for leos. I was thinking carpet, paper towels, or shelf liners.

I use shelf liner. Very safe and easy to use.
