OK, first the diet thing, I decided to go with a mixture of MK and Iguana Den!
I use a lot more leafy greens now, made out a 4 week food schedule with 9-10 items
on each, subbing different things, except keeping the same 5 leafy greens in all 4 weeks.
I will also only supplement 1 time a week and 2 couple salads a month will add some crushed
up IG food by ZooMed(seems to have some good ingredients, but they also recommend fresh greens with
their food)! Ziggi seems to love it, better than the previous!
Caging: I measured off the corner I was closing in(my reptile room)! IT would be 7'X4'X7'! Then, I started
thinking about giving him the whole room, but he would probably somehow get into my 55G turtle aquariums, my Leopard Gecko is covered!
Do you think he would bother the turtles? Probably would, he might want to take a swim one day! And another problem,
when he gets older if his temper gets bad, I would hate not being able to go in the room without full body armor!
How often do tempers flare and is a male worst than a female? I don't know what Ziggi is yet, still small and seems very happy and has
a lot of room in his 55G, just hard to believe he will get so big! How old before I know if its a male or female? Ziggi seems a lot calmer
than before--I always put my finger near his mouth to see if he will bite, once and a while he will(too small to hurt), but opens his mouth, kinda
like a warning before he does it! Never whips! But most of the time he will just lick you, before he use to bite everyday! But if you leave him alone and
he gets on the floor, you gotta chase him down(its tuff, little thing is fast and will try crazy jumps to get away), he hates getting caught!
He hates a bath, but I try to let him soak as often as possible for about 10-15 minutes! Just went thru a crazy shed and I think the baths help!
Sorry so long and as always thanks for any comments and suggestions!
