So i recently got a baby Leo and I wanted to know if the cage it's in is a proper setup for it, or if something needs to be changed on it to allow it to be happy.
the baby has a food bowl, two water dishes, and a calcium powder bowl (heard that they end up licking it up on their own from time to time, so its there in case the food's supplementation falls off the insects). The gecko's hot hide is on the right of the picture, and the damp hide on the left has moss inside it to make it damp. There is a heat lamp on the heat side that bring the basking spot to about 90 degrees, and a UVB on the cool side, which stays in the low to mid 70s. Theres also many plants and other things to hide under as it walks around so it doesnt feel exposed and get scared. These lights are on a timer to shut off at about 7:30 pm and come on at about 7:30 am. The wires coming from the bottom of the take are from 2 heat pads (we had two mid sized ones instead of one large one) which i plug in only at night so tht way the baby can stay warm during the night. The lining in the cage is green repticarpet. Is this a proper set up for the Gecko to be happy or do i need to change something?
Thanks for any and all advise.
