Hey, people. Just wanted to introduce myself and my leo, Snooch.
I recently picked him up from a friend of mine who started breeding leos about two years ago. I'm told that he's an 8-9 month old Mack Snow.
When I first brought him home he looked to be a little on the thin side, tail and all. Since then he's been gaining some size back on a diet of mealworms (will introduce him to crickets some time soon).
He's in a 30 long with Repti Carpet and tile as substrates (however, I plan to change this to sand and tile very soon - sand will NOT be accessible by Snooch).
UTH is on the left side of the tank. It's controlled by a Zoo Med rheostat (thinking about changing this to a thermostat. Yay? Nay?).
I'm using a tree stump hide that sits on a tupperware for his humid hide.There's also a rock hide on the warm side, as well as one on the cool side.
Calcium bowl (Gatorade cap) available at all times, + food and water bowls.
I also use a 50W Zoo Med infrared bulb for night viewing & ambient temps.
Daytime temps average 93 F warm / 75 F cool. Night - 89 F warm / 70 F cool.
I've also been thinking about building a faux rock background and possibly incorporating the tree stump hide into it - or just scrapping it altogether and starting from scratch.
Anyway, here's a few shots of his setup.
