Hi everyone, I'm Mike. Yesterday on my birthday the greatest thing happened to me! My girlfriend took me to purchase my first Leo!
Now I'm not entirely new to reptiles in general many years ago I owned a Chinese Water Dragon. I am however a newbie when it comes to Leos. I have done much research and I know most of the basics but I was interested in any pointers anyone may have.
This is the Viv that I purchased and set up yesterday:
It is a 20 gallon Long tank with carpet currently, I read here that many people recommend tile...as a college student that may have to wait a bit. There is a UTH under the lighted side of the tank along with a decent sized hide. On the other side I have a hide/water bowl combo with moss inside.
Behind the shade plant is a small bit of moss, from what I remember with my Dragon the easiest way to manage humidity was to have easily accessible moss close to the warm side but not directly under the light.
