so far what i have researched said 115-120 for basking spot surface temp for a baby under 4 months, thats why i had the temp i had. he ate a couple crickets yesterday plus a bunch of his salad. i was amazed how much salad he ate.. i will cut back on the bathing i was soaking once a week but the guy i bought him from said every day or everyother day til 4 months old and then once a week.. the fecal did check for parasites. i made sure i got that done. he hasnt had dark bars or splotches since the day i brought him home...his cake is in along the wall of the door in my daughters room. but i noticed the dogs made him nervous when they came in the room so i put up the baby gate to keep them out.. i also covered the side glass that faces the door to make sure the traffic since the bathroom is right next to it dont bother him.

i was going to try the dried silk worms before trying to order them anywhere.. hoping that the dried will be ok and work since its a little easier than ordering them.. the local pet store carries super worms, wax worms, and meal worms but not silk worms.. i dust my crickets with calcuim without d3 same thing i use for my turtle. since i have been told by so many that the d3 in the powder isnt beneficial they get it from the light.. i dust them one feeding a day when he eats normal.also use a multivitamin once a week.
