I am not sure yet,trying to let him or her get used to its cage,No name yet!! But i do have a question,Ok he is in a 6X3X4 foot tank in my room Basking temp 100 to 110, other end of tank about 80, He is in washed playsand, Large rocks for hiding.Since i got him 2 days ago he hasn't really come out(I know that take time to acclimate to the tank especially since he is W/C). I was just wanna make sure he is ok.

P.S I have other buddies too so i am not totally new to herps just Uro's(Leopard gecko,Veiled Cham,Aus. White tree frogs.)

Tank size sounds great, if he's not sharing with anyone!! The only thing I would do is boost the basking temp (not the ambient hot side temp) up another 10-15 degrees (115-130F). Also, is he getting UVB? The tank sounds awfully high for effective UV lights.

Make sure to share pictures of the cage, too! It sounds really nice!
