    Baby Leo needed a home so I took it :)
    A friends daughter came home with this little guy and she freaked out so she called me and I gladly took it off their hands. I don't know where she got it from because she is only 12 years old and isn't saying a word to anyone. Ive spent the past week online making sure I knew what I was doing and so far the little guy seems pretty happy. :D

    I want to make sure I have everything set up correctly so I am going to list what I have going on and let me know if I am doing something wrong. I have it in a 20 gal locking top glass tank. I have reptile carpet because I heard they can eat substrate and get sick. I have a UTH on one side 2 hides plus 1 humid hide. A couple branches to chill on. I have a water dish, a food dish with gut loaded mealworms. and a little cap filled with calcium only dust. At night I drop 3-5 little crickets into the tank and it gobbles them up (reminds me of a dinosaur) I have calcium with D3 that I will be dusting the crickets with 2x a week and have the repti-cal vitamins that I will be dusting the crickets with 2x a week as well (different days then the calcium) I think thats about it. I make sure the day temp is between 85-95 degrees and the night temp drops to about 70-75.

    And now for pics of the little one. I know nothing about leo morphs but I am pretty sure this is just a normal, if I'm wrong please let me know.

    Well, you have the perfect set up for the little fella! They don't need a night drop but it wont hurt anything.
    Looks like a normal.
    Congrats! Leo's are great, funny little things :)
    Edit...forgot to say 95 is a smidge warm, 92-ish is good (88-92 range). Some do like it warmer though...

    Awesome thank you! I wasn't sure about the night drop. I keep a red warming light on during the day and that keeps the temp up and the UTH is on 24/7. Im glad I have everything set up well for it. I can't wait till it gets bigger so I know if its a male or female.
