Please check that out and let me know what you think of my setup. YES, I know..calci-sand, ahhhh! I've read all the dangers but I have not had the time to make the transition, plus I hate the unnatural look of friggin paper towels...and id like to see some pics of some slate setups.

Anyway, my LEO has a pretty regular stool schedule, except earlier I checked on her and it was all runny like in the pictures. Should I be worried if his next stool is normal? She recently shed so she was given a lot of water(misted and a small bath). Maybe that's why? She ate 4 meal worms the night before...but I had to throw them in her hide(exoterra magnet hide)...she NEVER comes out of her hide except to poop which I never witness anyway...so I never really see her. Also, I've never seen her eat from her mealworm dish, just roaming crickets or mealworms that I threw in her hide. Although, a superworm was missing recently so maybe she ate that, or maybe it escaped...I don't know. Still the same amount of mealworms...I have 10 in there with a couple pieces of carrot. I just got some more mealworms today so I'll add more.

How can I get my leo to come out more and eat from her dish? She doesn't seem to eat that often. I'm pretty sure her temps are all setup right.

What does everyone use as a bowl to hold your mealies(While in the tank)?


Also, when people say my leo ate 10 crickets tonight....what size crickets are they talking about? I feed mine adult crickets although I could get smaller ones since I'm gonna start breeding them...I see people talking about how their leo eats 10 mealies a night..insane - i dont see how it can be done.

Does anyone have any guess as to how old my leo is? I got her in april from Petco...shes grown a little, not too much..but then again i see her every day so im not sure..



Thank you!

I used vinyl tiles, easier to fit inside the tank

it only will take about 5 minutes to dump the sand out and put the tiles in

Do you have any pictures? What about reptile carpet? Although I'm a bit concerned as to how the UTH will work with reptile carpet..I'm not using the UTH right now but if I move her into my air conditioned room which I might im going to have to.

I have them all in rubbermaids now on a rack though...but this was good for a display

the tiles look like rock

That looks pretty good. I think I should do that. Do you just throw some mealies/crickets in when it's time to feed, or do you leave the mealies in a bowl?

I usually feed mealies in a bowl and crix can free roam
