Any ideas what morph? I think s/he is some tangerine of some kind.

Disclaimer: I know a bunch of you will call me out on the sand... I just got a kit and thats all I have for now. I am working of getting it some repti carpet of some kind in the near future. So far he eats and poops like a little machine so no concerns!

also any tips on getting him to not freak out on me? he basically goes nuts every time I try to grab him.. On the picture posted he promtly jumped kamikaze style towards the cactus... I kinda leave him alone now...

cute!

Also, on a side note, props to you for wanting to chance to repti carpet, but until you can do so(or even instead of, for sanitary purposes) switch the sand to paper towels Its cheap, and I'm pretty sure you have some in the house. I don't know anyone who doesn't :main_laugh: Paper towel is also more sanitary than using repti carpet, because repti carpet can never really be fully "cleaned". It is a bacteria hideout, and bacteria will get trapped in the fibers and thrive. Down the line later, if you want to go for looks, you can always get slate It looks pretty, is a great heat conductor, and easy to clean and sanitize. You need to get your leo off the sand ASAP, because even though he's fine now, every time he goes after a cricket he ingests some sand, and every time he tastes his environment, same thing; more sand. Sand + crickets=big chance/risk of impaction. Just some tips :main_thumbsup:

P.S. if the kit you bought comes with lights for the leo, get rid of the lights, invest in a UTH(under tank heater), and a controlling device(dimmer switch, rheostat, thermostat)
