Hi All - I am (among other things) a small time leo keeper/breeder and unfortunatly, the founding female of my colony passed on recently. I would like to add a fat tail (probably a female) to my collection to see what they are like...maybe get a colony going along the line sometime down the road. Anyhow, I have a four drawer system with built in UTHs. I would like to house the AFT in one of these drawers. Individual Leos are in the other 3. How would I need to modify this drawer to properly house a fat tail? Thanks for your quick replies. I'm getting that "empty cage" feeling.

the only real difference is humidity. Fat-tails need a higher humidity. its VERY important to have the humid hide, and try raising humidity out side the hide too, if possible.

also, what did "rosie" die of??? if you don't know, i recommend cleaning out your whole rack system with a 10% bleach 90% water sollution.
