Hi, all. I'm new to owning reptiles. My 2 boys (9 and 11) have friends with leos, and after a couple of months of research, setting up a tank (with slate tile as the floor, as you can see below), we got two leos last week. They are pretty shy so far, having just moved in, so I had to lift their hide to be able to get a pic of them together. Two females. If anyone can help me ID their morph, I'd appreciate it. :main_robin:
I would appreciate any and all useful info. I just found out that I've probably been feeding them the wrong worms. I didn't know there was a difference between superworms and mealworms..... They've been getting the supers the past 3 days. Is this bad? I read that supers are for "treats" about once a week or so. They are eating, however, and for that I am glad. I just got a couple dozen crickets at the store too...gonna try them out in the next few days. However, it seems that worms are the easier food to use (and my wife has a thing against crickets in the house--worms can be easily hidden in the fridge--mealies, I've read--or elsewhere). Any votes for either worms or crickets? Also, what is the overall sentiment between superworms and mealworms?
Yes, I have a warm and a cool side. In the middle I have a half-log with moss in it. The two leos are in a 25 gallon tank, so they'll have plenty of room. I'm told they are about a year old, and are both female. One seems more adventurous from what I've noticed so far.... One is named Athena. The other doesn't have a name yet, but wanting to stick with the Greek goddess theme. Ideas are welcome.
