 BTS care?

My friends friend has a Blue tongue skinnk that he wants to rehome, so my friend called me, knowing I have many leopard geckos and bearded dragons. I am thinking about it, but could someone point me in the direction of a GOOD care sheet, or give me some care info. Searching the web is to unreliable, im not sure which info is right, and which isnt.
Also, pics of enclosures and what not..
Also, would a 40 gallon breeder be sufficient? I read that theya re the bear minimum, but I have nothing else for now.

Thanks in advance,
Jasen

 BTS care?

OK, here we go:

Need a burrow able substrate. I.E. Eco earth or some nice dirt from the pesticide free yard(I prefer eco for humidity)

For lights I would say 95 for basking and 70s for cool

UVB is usually required(psh...required is a pet store term. I don’t believe in UVB)

They are omnivores with criekts and veggies(fruits mostly) making most of the diet.

40 is the MINIMUM. But as with a beardie...75 is MUCH better.


thats all i know. :)
