I am interested in getting a Uro soon(probably a Mali) and im just doing a ton of research before it gets serious. ive read a bunch of care sheets and looked at videos on youtube. so i just have some questions that werent mentioned thouroughly on care sheets.

-What wattage basking bulb should i use if i have him in a 40 gallon critter cage?

-Could i use a 75w infured bulb 24/7 on the cool side to keep the temps around 75~ at night and 90~ daytime?

-Could i use washed play sand as a substrate?

-What are the best staple veggies to feed a Mali Uro? Ive heard so much "dont feed this" and "dont feed that", so i just want to know the truth lol.

-What are the kinds of calcium and vitamins i need? and how often do i dust with them?

-What i want to do feeding wise is buy all the veggies i need and cut them up and put them in a large tupperware container. Then everyday i clean out the food dish from yesterday and put in new veggies from the tupperware with the calcium/vitamins if its the day. would that work?

-as hides, i was thinking of getting 2 bricks and separating them enough so that the uro could fit in it, than putting a piece of tile over it. Then it would be a basking spot and a hide! i would do one of those on each side. would that work?

i hope you guys can answer these as best u can!

thanks in advance!
