You need a good dry gut load such as Cricket Crack.

You need plain calcium with no d3 for everyday use.

You need the Reptisun 5.0 tube style bulb for UVB

No basking bulb till much older and no black light ever.

Basking temp should be 80 under the UVB light and in the mid to lower 70 in the bottom of cage.
