Well, there's a pretty good chance that I'll be getting one soon!
My mom said that if I clean out all my extra reptile supplies and tanks, I can probably get one. My dubia colony is doing well and I can get crickets for $0.18/dozen at work, so feeding one is insanely cheap. I just have to move my hermies to a 15 gal so I have room for the leo's tank. I have an epic employee discount on a 29 gal long with sliding glass doors, so that's what my new little friend will be spoiled with LOL.
I'm hoping it will fit on my shelf! Otherwise there's always a 20 long version of it too.
I've done my research, but I have a couple questions that I was hoping some leo owners could help me out on:
What is the best source of heat for one? I was going to use the UTH I use with my hermies: Flukers UTH It doesn't stick to the bottom like most UTH, you actually have to tape it on. It doesn't get very hot, but should I still get a dimmer for it?
What it the best substrate? I really liked non-adhesive shelf liner for my beardies.
And how much do you feed them in a week? I have dubia nymphs of various sizes, and I can get crickets, mealworms, and superworms too. I'm going to see if I can get Phoenix wroms.
Oh, and I was planning on adopting an adult!
