 Thinking of getting one

I don’t have pics yet but ican tell u wat i got em in.

Well i got 2 in a twenty gallon and Half of the tank is Calci Sand and the other half is a ’semi tropical’mix
I keep the heat lamps on the sand side, a UVB in the middle, and got burrows, hideouts, branches and decorations everywhere. They feed on mostly crickets and mealworms dusted with calcium supplement.


If i get some pics ill post them.

Good luck.

PS. I would not get mine at a petco or petsmart, they usually keep them badly and are unhealthy. I would find a local petshop somewhere.

I don’t got pics so ill just tell u wat they got.
Well first off, I keep two in a twenty long. This is how there cage is made up... One side is covered in CalciSand and the other in a ’semi tropical’ mix (deep so they can burrow). I have the heat lamp on the sandy part, the UVB in the middle and branches goin everywhere. They eat mostly crickets and mealworms dusted in calcium supplement.

If I get any pics Ill post them.

PS. do not get yours from petsmart or petco, they are usually mistreated and are not healthy. Find a local Petshop that carries them.
Good luck!
