Well, my wife has wanted one since we really started getting into reptiles. I put her off because I had a pretty good idea of how much work would be involved. It also helped that they're not everywhere in the pet trade.

Well, a week ago at a local reptile show, she found one. Two really, but I let her convince me to get one of them. Looks to be a male Desert from what I've been told.

Fed him some crickets the first few days while we waited on ants to come in. Got an order placed with a decent supplier and he loves 'em!

Figured I'd join the club here. Anyone have any good advice? We've got good temps setup, uvb bulb, hide, rocks, etc. Wondering if I should dust the ants and if so how often? Calcium and/or multivitamin?

Thanks in advance!
