Opinions needed on Leo

[Msilva787]

Hey all, new here and I would love some opinions/suggestions on my Leo. His name is Rodger and he's a four month old super snow.i keep him in a 10 gallon tank with reptile carpet, he's got a warm hide that I try to keep around 86-90 degrees and a moist and dry hide on the cool side usually 78-80 degrees. I feed him mealworms that have been fed either kale or spinach a few times during the week and dust them with rep-cal and herptivite and occasional waxworms. He usually hangs out in the moist hide but he does go to the other hides here and there. Nighttime temps are about 72-74 and around 78 on one side. No lighting and there's also a shallow water dish in there. He's definitely bigger than when I first got him but I've never seen him shedding. He's super docile, alert, and eats regularly. Again I'd love opinions on him, does he look healthy, and suggestions or adjustments I can make.

First off welcome, Second he is very pretty. Your set up sounds right I would suggest moving the moist hide to the warm side of the tank. Mine like the moist hide to be 85-90 range.

As for shedding moving the hide might help that. I have some that will have faded colors for a day or so before and others that don't. I have noticed my adults seem to take longer to shed so depending on how often you check on him it might be shedding at night and you don't notice.

Thank you for your input I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

If you ever notice shed skin on his toes or body parts (maybe in the future) you can put them in small sauna,
Put them in a container with a cap that has paper towel on the bottom, then pout in Luke warm (room temp) water (not too much) and leave them in for about 15 minutes DO NOT WALK AWAY WATCH THEM THE WHOLE TIME
It works wonders on left over shed
