I just got a 3 month old juvenile and used a 20 gallon I had in storage. It seems like she’s already cramped. I am going to order the 4x2x2 meridian wood enclosure.
- Is it fine to put her in now or should I wait a month or two when she is bigger?
- I’m currently using a reptisun 24 inch t5 10.0 light. Will this be ok for the new enclosure or should I get a 36 Arcadian 14%? Based on my research here the consensus is to mount it inside with zip ties.
- For basking I’m using a 75 watt bulb but I know I’m going to need at least a 100 for the bigger enclosure. Any recommendations for lights/fixtures? I’m going to order the Arcadia uvb from reptile basics so if there is anything else there that would make life easier let me know.
- What is everyone’s thoughts on wood products for hides and climbing? I know they can be baked in the oven but seems like it would be a pain to clean everytime she poops on it. My understanding is that you need to get the poop out asap because of the risk of infection. With non wood stuff you can spray it with f10 and throw it in the dishwasher.
Thanks for your input
