Does the UTH need to be kept on at night or no? I have the UTH on with a 50 watt bulb during the day which keeps the temps at the right temp and keeps the tiles warm for their bellies. BUt should the UTH stay on at night?

Yes, shut the lamp off at night but keep the UTH on 24/7. The UTH will make sure the leos have access to enough heat during the nighttime hours which is very important since most leo owners feed in the evening and the leos can spend alot of the night lounging over the heated space to digest their food.

Jag Hey,
I'd like to see photos of the IRBA you can e-mail me at xavier.springer@nellis.af.mil or harekrsna@turtleforum.com
so what was the bets leo there and how much was it

are you going to breed them together how much do they wiegh?

jag Jul 17, 2003 02:45 PM

I dont have pictures actually from teh expo, just of the girls when they got home. The expo was real nice though. There were a lot of nice looking geckos, and some ranged from $15-100 bucks. I personally like the hypo tang, and brighter colored leos. So thats why I love my tank sunshine so much. There were a lot of albinos for sale to for about 50 bucks that were really nice. We went back later in the day to look for a male albno from snake broker (www.snakebroker.com), cuz we saw one earlier in the day and loved it. We went back but iluvblackfrancis was just buying them. I guess better for me, cuz i am running out of room. I plan on breeding them in a year or so. With my male Winky. Just to see what will make of them. Here is a pic of him

They're both very nice! What a great deal too, Good luck with them.
You should keep the UTH on at night and day, and the lamp on just during the day. Later

Seriously. My boyfriend and I fell in love with both as soon as we saw them. Actually Snake broker is pretty cheap on their albinos that they have. You might look to them for nice cheap albinos that are well started.
