[Havok]

Here is my little Havok!






I think i went overkill on his tank. but oh wells

i have him in a 36 x 18 x 16 (LxWxH) tank.

The base on the warm side is loose black desert sand from exo terra, then for the cold/damp side, a hill starts to form at the half way mark of the tank and increases up to 6" deep at the end of the tank. for him to dig/burrow.

what kind of bulbs do i need?

i already have an undertank heater, I've beem reading that i don't need anybulbs other then a UVB ( which i have ) but then pet smart guys saying i should have a basking bulb above the heating pad.

Pictures of the set up.

I noticed my lil guy burrowed in the heated half of his cage, but not on the moist/ damp. is that normal? i have bought another hideout incase that was the case.

great gecko and set up. what frog eyed speices is that?

[Havok]

i havent a clue, lol

and he is starting to annoy me slightly, he only burrows in the heated area, and the sand drys out fast, and i have had to save him on one occasion due to the collapse of his burrow., i have let the damp side top layers to dry out a few inches, but still he wont burrow over there.

but right now im glad he decided to burrow under his waterdish, so at least he has a sturdy roof over his head.

That looks like a T. Robrowski, but it is hard to tell in those pics.

another thing, he has stopped eating a bit, and all he seams to do is try to escape, could the basking lamp and a UTH combined have something to do with it? cause I have the Infared on at night, and a UV 10.0 on during the day. and he never ever seems interested in eating, i know before hand he was, cause he would pop all over the place. now he looks skinnier and less poop.

any advice on getting him to eat properly would be greatly apperciated.

I would turn off all heat at night. They need to cool off a little at night. What temps do you have in your cage during they day in the hot end and the cool end? It does sound like you have it to warm if he is trying to escape all the time.
