Slate and sealer was purchased but not yet put in. Couple of questions first:

How long after sealing do you let the slate cure before putting in tank?
If sand is needed under the slate (to make...

Temps are better for sure. About 88-90 inside the warm hide. Ambient is lower 80-82 I believe (going off memory), cool hide around 70-72.

I still have to put on the new Ultratherm UTH (it came...

Found some slate on sale. May try and pickup. Was looking at sealer options and came across this:
...

I did not poke any holes in them. I just made sure they were clean and clear of their substrate. I put them in a dish with the mealworms.

On Thursday I tried them as well (by themselves) and...

Couple of updates:

Anthem loves crickets now. He at 16 of the small ones in one feeding this week lol.

He also had another successful shed.

I got in some of the black fly larvae. He does...

Not double boxed but they did use a heat pack and had food in there for them. They guarantee live arrival so I’ve contacted them (Komodo reptiles). Wasn’t next day shipping.

The ones I get local...

I just got my first delivery of 500 crickets (hooray). Sadly, most are dead (or waking up), and I'm working with the Company on this.

That said, I may have overestimated things, as I ordered...

Video from trying the new food dishes:

I had to lead him to the dish with the worm and then put it in there. Once he saw it, he did eat one.
...

I assume things like those mentioned get put on the outside and not inside?

Next set of questions:

What are people using to cover the back and side walls of the tank?

Awesome. That tape is the exact stuff I have in the basement.

Tank is elevated. I put chair pads on all corners so it is not directly sitting on the dresser. Hoping I can get away with no...

Currently being used for water. I ordered to additional dishes for mealies.



Yes indeed. Likely not a permanent thing, just something I'm messing around with.



Indeed, and I just...

Anthem got an upgrade tonight. Officially moved into the 20L.

Moved his warm hide and humid hide to the right side. Thinking I’m going to need a new UTH as the old one doesn’t cover the...

Thank you.
acpart, how many mealworms do you keep in the container you described?

Thank you both for the suggestions. I will take a look.
acpart, how many crickets (small/medium) do you think I could keep in a 10g tank? Trying to judge how many to order.

Currently, I've only been getting a small handful of baby crickets at a time (2 dozen this last round). To start with, I've been housing them in one of the smaller "cricket keeper" things. Once I...

Hi All,

Just curious, does anyone have recommendations of where to order live feeder food from ? I'm in Ohio (USA) and while I can pickup the usual things like crickets and mealworms from local...

Yes, makes sense.

Her room temp's average around 70*F so she should be good.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to say that the thermostat itself turned off. I just meant that the Thermostat itself is...

Good suggestion on the calendar. I may do that for them.

And thanks for the info on gut loading. I've been feeding the mealworms and crickets some carrots and celery so far. Will look into...

My oldest (who got the Leo for Xmas) is 10, turning 11 in June. Anthem is in her room on her dresser :). She is dying to hold him, but I keep telling her to be patient and wait about a month.
...

Thank you.

Safe to say that Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday just keep to no dusting correct ?

Also, with Anthem being small, I assume I am safe to stick with Mealworms and Baby Crickets for...

I ordered all of the supplements and everything arrived except the Zoo Med's ReptiVite multivitamins withOUT D3 (this will be here between the 20-25th).

Any suggested modifications to the...

Quick update,

I was able to move Anthem out of his hide and confirm all of the shed came off! Hooray! First shed successful (even though he never used the humid/moist hide).

Also, the new...

I believe it is all off. Hard to fully tell as he's under the hide. I'll be checking later today to confirm.

Not sure what's up with images, sorry. I uploaded them to imgur for larger viewing:
