Thanks. Yes, using the red light for heat. Have the UVB tube bulb. More and more people are suggesting loosing the substrate...will be doing that soon. I only have it there cause it came with the kit and it looks nice. I have noticed that VERY RARELY does he ever touch the ground...

Thanks, I didn't buy them as I was thinking the same about movement. Was looking for a convenient source of food just in case I didn't have/couldn't get crickets for a couple of days. I was thinking to mix them in with some fruit and veggies. Someone suggested mixind in mealworms to...

Not sure of the age. Only had him since Christmas. I thought I would try some larger crickets (these are about 3/4 - 1") and some vitamins. Gave him 3 dusted with a multivitamin. Only saw him eat one then he went to bed. I gave him the smaller of the lots cause I was concerned about...

Yep, from nose to vent, about 3 inches. Crickets are about 1/2 inch or smaller.

I know this is kind of question is very vague and is affected by many different factors but I thought that I would ask as there doesn't seem to be much improvements since we got him. I noticed that we are able to see his ribs the majority of times, especially in the morning...

Just wondering if anyone has tried those canned food that they sell for reptiles (and amphibians)? I was thinking about picking up some of the mealworms to add a bit of variety to it's diet. It says that they have the same nutritional value as live (cost more though).

The bottom is glass. Not looking to get it drilled. I would think that it would be easier just to put a deep dish below where the drip is and to empty as needed. Anyway, as I mentioned, going to stick to spray for now.

Thanks Carol5208. Yes feeders run loose. Have seen him take them off the substrate. Good point about them getting some in their mouth. Same reason why I feed my snake in a separate tank with no substrate (at least one reason). I was actually rethinking the drip for the same reason...

When I get the chance...probably this weekend...I'll get to post pictures of the vent area. I was told that it may be too young to tell. Regarding substrate....it's just what came with the kit. It's also another thing that I don't know why it's there but it's there so until I need to...

Caught sleeping Caught Pascal sleeping out in the open... Catching some zzz's by closhusan, on Flickr

So to Slyfox...yeah your right about the petshop knowledge. All this back and forth about the light got me to do a little research (i.e. I actually looked at what I bought instead of taking the staff's word) and found that the red light DOES NOT mention that it provides UVA!!! It's a 75W...

Thanks for the help and suggestions

Thanks everyone. Just some notes: The tank is 18" x 18" x 24". This is a starter tank and fully expect to have to move up to bigger one. Thanks to Wontbme for the great suggestion to use the water dish for worms and other items. I might do that for the frogs that we have as well as I...

Returning to the change with new layout

Pascal's current home Here is what his current setup looks like. Pascal's home by closhusan, on Flickr Note: will be removing the water dish soon - not sure why it is there.

Yeah, store people were also not sue why the dish was there. Was told that the tank would help maintain the humidity. The entire top is screened and it has a ventilation strip across the lower third - it's an Exo-Terra cage. When it gets bigger, we will be looking into a "more screen than...
