Very nice.
He looks like an Indonesian, but im not 100%.
And yea, theres a lot of conflicting info on wether they need the UV light or not. Best to be safe then sorry imo.

thanks for the link
ive been reading care sheets some say they do need the uv and some say they dont need it if they have enough food supplement or whatever
same with feeding and stuff
they seem to say diffrent things on diffrent sheets so not sure who to listen to lol

My Blue Tongue is living in a 4ft Viv (will have to check dimensions)
One end he has a 150W spot light controlled by a dimmer stat. The other end has a normal household bulb which is used only for light, but I dont use that one.
I have a 10% Uv tube going along the length of the viv.

Have you read over this?
