Nice Leo there. What substrate is that? I t looks like silica sand or something.

[Clownfishie]

Congrats, she's very pretty! :) Love the pattern on her back...

i love the pic, hes looking straight up

[DarkHunter]

wow thanks guys :)
Dave - No problem, i just have to get new batteries today for my camera, i sort of over used it last night because i finally got it back...i swear my animals are all blind today hehehe but i will post up some pictures of the whole encloser hopefully later on today!! :)
Reptyle - Its CalciSand...i dont like it much but im really not too sure what else to put her on, though she hasent had any problems on this substrate so far.
Raven- Thanks, hehe she's very curious!!!

Nice set up and nice looking leo you have there.

Can i make one suggestion, I would change the substrate. There's a risk of impaction with sand. I suggest bed a beast, slate, or the good old paper towels and newspaper.

Oh and you'll never be able to stop at one. =)

Drew,

Im new at all this stuff, keep the suggestions comming i wont be offended by any means!! :)
I got her from a breeder she use to be one of his breeder females and he told me thats what they've been on so i didnt' want to change anything, i know about impaction and it does scare me when reptiles are on sand, so i will look into changing that sometime this week, do you think its okay to put them on "repti Turf"? (its like a thin green rougher carpet type stuff) i really like the way it looks hehe
Isen't it awful i have just recently got her and i already have a wish list of more 10 pages long!! :)
Thanks for the ideas

I have never used calcisand before. I prefer paper but if works, it works :D Best of luck with your new girl.

i feel like a pain the the A** here but i have yet another question for the experts here ;)
She loves to eat her wax worms, but those are her treats...i know shes big enough to eat large crix, but she wont...shes a very bad hunter like hit and miss all the time hehe she'll eat medium crickets but not really too many of them, what should i do? the guy i got her from keeps saying to feed her large but she will NOT eat them, i figured if she'll eat the med. its better than nothing....am i wrong? thanks guys

Nice leo! In the first pic it kinda looks like he's waiting for mealies or crix :)

[RepTylE]

Well I spoiled all my babies anf fed them by hand lol they do seem really inept when they have to catch the crix. I wouldn't worry if she doesn't eat alot, I assume that you feed every two or three days. From the look of the pics, she's far from skinny. Large or medium crix doesn't matter as long as shes' feeding.
