im getting a red ackie soon and i want to make sure i have my facts strait before i have it. so far i have down that basking temps need to be about 110-120 degrees for a baby and up to 130-150 for a bigger ackie and cool side needs to be about 75-80 correct?

im planning on feeding it crickets dusted with miner-all everyday with some occasional raw ground turkey once or twice a week. i still dont know about how much to feed though. can anyone clarify that? once it gets older im going to cut back to 4-5 days a week and start offering more meats in the diet.

i think thats all for now but ill probably have more questions later. thanks for all the help in advance, i just like to be well prepared before i get any animal.
