Ok i figured i was goin to need a bigger container so off to the store i am headed for build me a 3x2 cage for the little guy, hell ill loose him in a cage that size, he so small.

but i was wanting to know for those of you who keep babys indoors do you set up grazzing pans with grass, is it ok to use regular good ol fashion yard grass , was figureing i could just set up 2 pans and swap em out every so often and let em grow back.

2nd ? Every care sheet i read has conflicting information i am trying to care for the little guy with all my heart but the basking spot temps should be what. Some care sheets say mid 80's some say 90-95

The cool end of my little guys cage is 80 degrees but i have it warm side at 88-90 right now is this where it needs to be.

and as a Hatchling (6-8 weeks) should i soak him daily or 3 times a week...

and he hides alot in his little box, is this normal?

thanks in advance

chad
