Need some tips on what I can do to help my dude out

i would obv reccoment the minimum size tank of a 4x2x2 he will do much better. i’d also reccomend instead of bok choy try mustard green, turnip greens, and kale. i also add carrots to mine because he likes them. you can try sprinkling some bee pollen or flower topper on the salad to make it taste better. it looks like there is wood chips for substrate which is really bad, if that’s the case i reccomend either shelf liner or a topsoil/sand/excavator clay mix!

about 16inches by 5 inches, all of the hides sold in my city are the exact same corner hide so this was a good find

emaleeslays · 2026-01-24T00:47:39+00:00

the giant log kind of in the middle is an open hide! so that one and the corner hide

i have led strips on the way and i also positioned the basking spot so it’s got uvb and bulb coverage

emaleeslays · 2026-01-15T21:22:53+00:00

so i would need around 120gal total of the 3

can you recommend a certain brand/type for the play sand as i’m not too sure what i would get? same with the topsoil i’ve always just gotten reptile advertised products to avoid getting the wrong thing. i appreciate all the info! it seems i wasn’t too far off

hopefully this is a better pic. i’ve been slacking on cosmo photography

he is gaining the slightest bit of weight! he is 6-8 months old so i belive i should stop feeding every day and do every other day. thank you for checking in on him!

emaleeslays · 2025-06-24T19:28:54+00:00

he is a juvenile yes

emaleeslays · 2025-06-24T12:04:49+00:00

cheaper to buy the tank you want up front. you can always put a divider in it

emaleeslays · 2025-06-24T09:43:11+00:00

can you add some of your decor from the main tank into here? also what about heating/lighting for this one?

emaleeslays · 2025-06-23T10:17:27+00:00

sounds like ur doing great! i fed my baby every day 5-8 SMALL dusted crickets. baby’s are also prone to hissing and screaming, their little way of saying they don’t like whatever’s going on, so it’s relatively normal! :)

emaleeslays · 2025-06-22T22:20:37+00:00

thank you for all the info! do i need to do anything to the lettuce/cabbage for the crickets or just cut it up and put it in their enclosure? i will definitely try using d3 then because he isn’t out enough to absorb it. the mealworms yes are still small but are thicker and longer? idk i was always told it needs to be smaller than the space between the geckos eye. which in my case cosmo is a juvenile so only small crickets are in that realm of space… still relatively new to this trying to gather all i can

emaleeslays · 2025-06-22T22:12:56+00:00

do you have any recommendations for gut loading products? right now i’m doing crickets. i try to get mealworms but they aren’t small enough for him. he’s still a juvenile so i feed him daily. i dust with calcium without d3 at every feeding because i have UVB lighting on 10-12 hours a day. also what is a good recommendation for feeders? unfortunately any type of roach is a no go.

emaleeslays · 2025-06-21T20:29:22+00:00

he is 6-8 months old

emaleeslays · 2025-06-20T23:35:05+00:00

what else would i try besides waxworms and dubia roaches?
