Just thought i would post some pics of my 5 month old albino and her setup.Tell me what you think.

Setup

setup once again

then her other half of her cage with her coconut.

You might want to put a humid hide in there and a few plants. My leos love to hide and climb on the plants. Plus by doing this it will make your tank look more attractive and its funnier for the leo.

Just my opinon though.

2 male leos: Winky HY & Lenny TangCT & 6 Female Leos: Sunshine Super tang,Starburst, & Daisy Super tang carrot tail, Serenity Tremper HY Jungle Albino, Skittle Hypo-Golden, and Banana Patternless.

Can you tell me how to make the humid hide? I know what it is but I just want to know how to make one.

Just get a tupaware(sp?) container with the top on cut a large hole in the side and put sphangum moss or wet paper towels in it and put it on the side where the heat lamp is.

ok cool I can do it. thanks

Lookin' good! I thought you said yours was younger..see our leos are the same age ^_^ hehe~ How big is your tank? I wish I had enough room to fit large driftwood in there. I'm waiting on craigslist for a free tank that's larger than 10 gallons. And just like everyone said - she does need a humid hide Other than that your leo and your set up looks good I like how she's hanging out on the corner like that... my leo makes that same look when I don't take him out while he stands up and leans against the glass How long have you had your leo?

Ryoko - if you don't want to use tupperware, you can get any hide from the pet store (i use driftwood) and keep it on top of the moss which you have to mist once a day or the wet paper towels it looks more realistic... i like it that way i attached a pic 4 u

I have had my leo since april 4th when she was 2 weeks old so i have had her for 6 months. I also have a question for everyone to females tend to be more petite than males because my friend has male blizzard that is going to breed with my albino and he is also 6th months but is huge and weighs 35 grams and my albino weighs about 21 grams. Is she underweight or something? what should i do?

She doesn't look underweight. 6 months is still pretty young. It looks like you've been feeding her well, but don't try to rush it. Just give her more time to grow.

I am assuming you have an UTH under the side with the coconut. You need to add another hiding spot on the other side (she is trying to hide in the pic but can't) and a humid hiding spot on the warm side. You also need to get the sand out it is horrible for leos, put something such as paper towel or slate in there instead. Make sure the hiding spots are tight to her body and are dark, leos (especially albinos) need dark spots to retreat to. I can't remember if you had a calcium powder dish in there, but make sure she has one of those. If you have any more questions then go ahead and ask.
