Im soon to hopefulyl be getting 2 female baby leos...


But i need advice! Substrate, food, lighting, heat, environment etc.

I'm putting them in a 5 x 2 viv so they'll have plenty of room to roam to make up for lack of climbing height.

They're gonna be called Hendrix and Cobain

hi punk,

use news paper for substrate DO NOT USE SAND!!!, and a heat mat for heat, no need for specialist lighting so a normal lamp will do, cool hide and warm hide required and also a moist one for shedding.

food is up to you. i used to use crickets but became a real hassle to keep with all the escapes and them hiding in the viv, so now use mealies. plus waxies as a occasional treat.
just remember to gut load them and dust them.
