In Reply to: questions, questions, and more, I have my IG NOW!!!!! posted by IG27 on February 08, 2000 at 23:45:17:

: OK, finally got the set-up and the IG! Can igs see the red in a nocturnal red lights?
: I didn't think they could? I am using one tonight to keep the temp up, I have
: a 60 watt and it keeps one side about 82-86, the coolest side is about 78-80, is this
: ok? Without the light it stays about 76 everywhere! I have the 24" ESU 7% UVB and I'm gonna use
: an incadescent 40 watt during the day, depending on how the temps go, the room stays pretty warm during
: the day with the windows and my other 3 aquariums, 55G 3 turtles--30G 3 baby turtles and all the basking and
: UVB lights above them! Also my 20G with a Leopard Gecko! I cut him up some fresh green beans,squash,pear,asparagus,and
: added some crushed up alfalfa pellets(rabbit food), got this from MK's site!
: Also, got some collard and turnip greens, do I put the whole leaves in there for the IG to tear apart of chop them up real fine
: like the other food???
: The IG seemed pretty active, but relatively calm, my friend said he never messed with him and has had him about 3 months!
: He does look like he could use a little more weight, very quick when you try to pick him up, but once you have him, he don't seem
: to try and run unless you make a sudden movement.
: Also, can't believe what happened same day I got this IG, friend I have not seen in about 8 months accidentally run in to him at Lowe's when I was getting some carpet for my IG and he has a 16 inch(head to tail) IG living
: in a 10G aquarium and wanted to know if I knew someone that would take him, he was giving all his lights and everything away, said he paid right at $200 for the whole set-up when he bought the IG?
: Made me mad, and I told him he needs a bigger place, just another IG given up, I might take him if he can't find a suitable owner.
: I feel like an adoption home, but I know I will do all I can to care for these great reptiles! Just amazes me at the number of IG's out there kept in tiny places!
: Sorry so long, thanks for all the info and keep it coming!! You can never get enough knowledge.........
: Take care---------IG27 + Ziggy
