Re: Here we go again... another one in need (kind of long)
Good luck! I hope he's in good condition.
P.S. I used sand for a while with my leopard gecko... and I HATED it. It starts smelling really bad after three weeks or so (at least the sand I got did), and is very annoying to clean. It gets everywhere. LOL I'm never using sand again.

Sand can also dry their toes out during sheds and make it stick and some leo's have lost toes that way ive heard. I prefer something dark like cyprus because it really makes their colors shine.

Re: Here we go again... another one in need (kind of long)
I like the mulch way better then the sand. I just went out and got some Cyprus.
Now do I have to bake the mulch to get rid of any "bugs"?
If so, how long and what temp?

I FOUND IT!
Heat the Oven to 250 Degrees, place the soil / mulch in a shallow container and bake approx. 20-30 minutes to kill bug eggs, weed seeds, and fungi. (This
process also kills healthy bacteria as well!)

Re: Here we go again... another one in need (kind of long)
I feel kind of stupid to be honest. I should have remembered people telling me how to "debug" soil and mulch and such since I did work in a garden center for a year. Oh well. Google has once again come though. 
Now mulch is in the oven and I'm off to go meet this guy with the leo.

Here we go again... another one in need (kind of long)
I go out of my way for friends who are in need like that. I'd rather have them wake me up at 2am in a drunken state asking for a ride then to get behind the wheel :eek: and attempt to make it home for their safty and for whoever else may be out on the road at that time's safty!
I have no idea if he is coming with anything or what kind of condition he/she is in, etc. I hope he is in some what good heath since this guy seems to really care/love "his little buddy". So I'm crossing my fingers that this guy/girl is in good condition.
's, some
's and mealworms (we need a mealworm icon!!), a new hide, a heat mat, cal&vit dust, water dish and some sand for this new comer. I also called a buddy who is a old ex herp vet to stay on "stand by"
for a call from me in case this guy needs to see someone.
Worse comes to worse I may have to but hey... my animals (my babies) come first, friends come second and what can I say... guys come last!
