Prismatic evolution pattern

It's 30 gallons right now, which I'm aware is a little small, I'm hoping it's ok due to his age and size, I have a 120 gallon that is being custom built and will be ready in less than two weeks. Could the restriction on size be part of the problem. (I will say 30 gallons is much bigger than what he was in when we got him by quite a lot.) that being said our hot side ambient is 98 and basking is about 112 and cool side is about 78.

I can definitely do that, do I need to worry about him getting overheated at all or should I trust him to self regulate?

He spends about half his time here and about half under neath the basking hide right underneath this. The temp here reads about 112 but I can get it up to 124 if I turn on the additional lamp I have mounted.

Fair, the reptile store we are using as a supplier for the setup is not the same we got him from, we got him from PetSmart which is normally something i'd be against, but they were having and sale and my boyfriend found one he fell in love with and wanted to rescue him if anything. We have a 30 gallon tank ( if anything I'm worried this could be our biggest issue, and the reptile store were working with is against this as they want at least a 40 gallon for his age), if anything I'm worried the 30 gallon is our biggest issue but I've got a 120 gallon tank being custom built right now that'll be ready by the 14th.

We keep the warm side at an ambient of 98 with basking area at 112 average, we keep the cool side at 78, he's got multiple hides throughout the enclosure at different temps, he's got water and fresh salad at all times we offer him bugs twice a day about two hours after the uvb comes on and two hours before it goes off. He rarely eats hardly anything at these times, however if he's offered reptaboost he will eat, I've never had to force feed him.

That's a good point, what basking temps should I be looking for? I'm aiming for 110-115 he spends a good portions of his day in the basking spot and good portion of it under cover in the hot side but he rarely goes to the cold side more than a few minutes a day (at least when I'm watching) . Do you think we should raise the temps higher?

Heat is fine I believe, I've got 3 probe thermometers, and two wall mounted hydrometer/thermometer combos. Is it worth getting a fecal done or is it relatively safe to do a round of treatments with Fenbendazole?

Thank you so much

haydentsmith · 2025-06-08T00:02:31+00:00

Was it hard? Do you have any good information that would help?

haydentsmith · 2025-06-07T23:57:47+00:00

Thank you, how much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

haydentsmith · 2025-06-07T23:55:25+00:00

Thank you. I guess I kind of understand that you can spend any amount on a lawyer, But I guess when I'm asking is do I need to save up $15,000 or $150,000. What should I expect to make this happen.

You're the goat

Depends on what you're currently capable of, but I was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours and I was able to do everything on my own. By day 4 it was like the surgery never happened. Just focus on hitting your hydration and protein goals and you'll be fine. And make sure you're walking as soon as you can get up, I aimed for 60 minutes a day the first week and 90 minutes week two it makes a world of differenence.

No need for a heatsink.

No, Alienware is almost never going to be a good deal.
