So I posted my old rough draft earlier this month on here, and I took the feedback I got and created a habitat that was supposedly ideal. I've done a great bit of research about everything that I currently have in the tank. Also- I'm not here to start a eco-earth debate. Yes, I am using eco earth, I am very convinced it will be great for my leopard gecko. Okay, so my setup is two shelters, one is a Zoo Med repti shelter. This had a lot of reviews on it for leopard geckos and all of them were positive, so I decided that would be the humid hide for him. The next is a rock cave sort, that I made myself. It's a stair way with a small platform ontop and it has a little cave inside it. I bought some fake viney plants and I silicone glued them to the rock structure ( It's all very nicely siliconed together. ) to cover up some of the exposed glue and to provide more of a shelter like area for him. I have two dishes, one for water and one for food. I plan to keep worms in the food dish constantly, and feed crickets once or twice a week. I'll put the water dish in there every couple of days, as I read they don't need a constant supply of water. I have a Medium UTH that keeps the rock the humid hide is sitting on heated well and most of the tank heated. It's a steady 82 degrees generally in the tank and in the leafy hide its a little cooler. Should I have the UTH on a timer so it goes off during the night, or should I just leave it on all the time ?
