hi all! looking to get any opinions on what the best substrate is for my leos 40gallon long tank? my only concern is that my leo will eat the substrate and pass away from impaction. any advice helps! thanks!

Hi! my leo is about 1 now and they currently have an under tank heat mat but ive been seeing that some people like to use a basking light? do i need both or just one? Also how often should i be feeding him? he gets a mixture of crickets and mealworms every other day with a dusting of calcium...

my leo is almost 1 now and i know that im supposed to go down to feeding from every other day to 1-2 times a week but im not sure when? any help or advice?

thank you so much, this really puts me at ease, i have my heat mat temp set at 94 degrees, do you think thats okay?

hi everyone! my leo has been pretty sluggish the past couple days and has been not interested in eating whatsoever and wont stay on the warm side of his enclosure, he only stays in his humid hide which is on the cold side. Also what temperature should his heat mat be set at? He's about 1...

hes in a 40 gallon, and i will do that! the probes are pretty low to the ground right now but ill move them around a bit, thank u!

hi all, i just got a under tank heat mat for my leo and i was from Zoo Med (size 30-40g ) (not sure if that was big enough) and it is set at 89 ° but i feel like my warm and cool sides are not keeping my leo warm enough, what does anyone think? any suggestions?

this helped sooooooo much!!! thank u!!! me and my leo appreciate

this helps a ton, definitely switching!! thank you

hi all, im having a difficult time figuring out if the Ceramic heat emitter that im using for my leos tank should be taken out and replaced with a heat mat? Right now the only “light” on top of the tank is a CHE. Thoughts?

so you would recommend getting rid of all the lights including the CHE and just do a heat mat?

it does definitely! thank you so much

hi all, quick question about heat mats, so i have a leopard gecko and in the picture i have below i circled the 2 lights that are not being used anymore, and the other one is a ceramic heat emitter. Im not sure which side to put the heat mat on, what size i should get, or which hide to put it...

thank you! i was definitely worried but this makes sense, appreciate it!

hi all, i think my leo is overweight and im not quite sure what to do about it, any advice? he is just getting switched to getting fed every other day, but hes been fed 13-14 mealworms. Any help?
