I'm afraid my Leo has a bad case of poor shedding. I have a moist hide where there is wet paper towel on the floor of the hide and all around it, along with those sponges. Once I started noticing the tips of his toes were coming off, I started soaking my Leo in VERY shallow, warm water. Today...

My Leo is about 5 inches long, just a little guy. I know when he/she was born it was 3.5 inches long. So just out of curiosity, how old is my 5 inch gecko?

He doesnt like those, ive already tried

Yes, he just pooped out a whole worm. And the tank is 20 gallon, maybe 15. My dad built it so i dont know the measurments

I know its required to have a heat lamp, i got that! But im confused about the other light i need, for calcium? Is it the UVB lamp? Im not sure. Im supplying my gecko with calcium powder and vitamins. Do i need more than that? And can i use a black light? Or can that harm him? (like a black...

Well my house is always warm, expecially the room hes in. So you suggest just an uth? (im new to this so im just making sure)

So should i only use a uth?

Well right now i have 5 gallon. I know that is VERY small, but im getting a 20 gallon this weekend. Im not using an uth since im going to be extanging tanks soon. I use reptile carpet and i have a big boulder hide and some rock hides. But is a uth even nessary if i have a 75 watt bulb?

I got my baby leo today! But i have a probelm... My hygrometer is saying that its at 40 (day) and 60 (night). Will that harm the health of him? (I read that its suspose to be 10-30) And is a fluorescent bulb a must? Please help!
