So they could cause impaction, but it's not likely? This is a very small area! Would rocks or sand be better? I held an adult carrot tail yesterday in the store, and when I put it back, I was sad... I loved holding him (or her?), and he seemed to like me... He even tried to climb up my shirt, but I was afraid he'd fall, so I didn't let him. I finally found out the baby isn't a blizzard cross, but a regular leo, but in the darker shades versus the commonly available high yellows, typically sold as normals. Like a REAL normal. At 2 WEEKS! (Born in-store, typical there, unless bought locally) Setting up the tank in 2 days, really want to know what the best substrate for the side is! To buy: stronger uth (I have the rainforest one) or light, decor, another hut (I can make the humid hide and use silicone or something to decorate it with rocks or moss), calcium, background. Do they like to be misted?
I have set up:
light uth, water dish, tiles, temp. and humidity gouges, a rock and a stick. Do I need the rock and stick? They are very clean, but the rock has sharp edges...
To make/find: small calcium dish, humid hide.
Later upgrades:
20 gallon, nicer humid hide, more tiles, more decor for 20.
