History: We haven't had power for 5 days because of a storm. Rufus hasn't had UVB for 5 days. Now he does (last night). I still have been feeding him, spraying him and the temps have been around 87.

How am I doing?

Thanks, Dominic

A few days without uvb wont hurt him.

For the record, next time that happens, you can take him outside. even if its 90 out, you can take him out and put him in half shade, so he can move to cooler spots, for like an hour or so.

Also, the calcium with d3 and multivitamin should only be used 2 times a month.

once you get the calcium without d3, use that on every feeding.

ALso, let him eat as many crickets as he wants.


other than that.. enjoy him! they grow so fast!
