This really sounds like a baiting question.
The temperature is too high (yes I said that). You need a low of at least 80 and preferably 75F.
I highly recommend you lose the rabbit pellets and use another substrate (Sand/soil, fine pile carpeting etc)
I suggest a water dish at all times.
The diet sounds good just be careful with the green beans. Not to much of them (the bean part).

: I just got a leo tort adn was wondering about temp range. Right now I have an active uv heat lamp and the range is 90-100 on 12 hour cycles. How is this? I have him in a tub with rabbit pellets, I take him out and soak him for 15min per day but never have water in with him. I feed him greens, green beans carrots, endive kale, and commercial diet, is this OK? Any advice would be greatly apreciated. I am going ot get the biggest rubbermaid lenght wise I can this week to keep him in.
: Thanks
