But was wondering how i will keep it warm at night?? does it need heating @ night or do i just turn it all off?? he is 4months old (i dont know what sex so ill just stick to he lol). going to use news paper until he's older so i dont have to worry about impaction. Im going to put in a big dish with water in it so he can get in it totally. Do i just dust his food with repti cal one day and multi vitamins the next and nothing after that then repeat?? And are woodies ok for his meals?? How many should i give him and how often?? with vegies etc thanks guys |
