, yes i have another leopard gecko, baby. but i keep it on repti carpet and have an under tank heater, dry hide, humid and another dry hide on the cool side of a 10 gallon tank, i mean for a baby 10 gallon is find enough. But anyways please someone tell me if shes impacted! she'll stick half of her body outside of her hide on the hot side just leaving her belly to warm up with the under tank heater heating the sand. once in awhile she will go in her humid hide, but then back under the rock.. im quite concerned
