minervatheferret Jun 20, 2004 03:19 AM

I WORK FOR A PET STORE IN NJ AND WE HAVE RECENTLY FOUND A GOOD BREEDER FOR HTL I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GET A REPTILE AND TILL RECENTLY HAVE BEEN THINKING OF A RANKINS DRAGON BUT HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL HTL THAT WE GOT IN. I AM LOOKING TO SET HIM UP IN A 30 BREADER WITH SCREEN TOP AND A MULTILIGHT. I AM GOING TO USE SAND SUBSTRATE AND BASKING ROCK AND A CAVE. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW FOR MY FIRST SETUP? ANY EDUCATION ON THESE GUYS IS GREATLY APPRICIATED.
THANK YOU

Do you have a good supply of the ants they require?
Between 20 and 80 per day, depending on the size and species of HL you are getting. What kind is it?
