I already have a short horned but Im going to let go but my friend had a big hatch by his yard of DHL he kep two and me to so I need to know something is the vita sand good for them because thats what the SHL is in and it turned him red and even if he sheds but I think if I let him go hell grow out of it and he looks really sad in the cage when he wake up so when we go to NM I'll but him back and then the DHL could have more room in a ten gallon
