That stuff in that link is essentially the same as the Repashy Superfood ICB..If I remember correctly it was just repackaged.. Mr. Allen Repashy commented on this at one point but I can't exactly remember. RepCal w/D3 is fine if you want to continue using it, just keep kind mind that the D3 can be overdone and you may want to consider finding some RepCal without D3 to keep in the tank and to dust with occasionally. Do you supplement with vitamins?Originally Posted by bamf64
So i should quit using Repcal and get the calcium in the link i sent you in the last post?
btw thanks for helping me. Ive had her for 6 months and i thought ive been doing everything right
i just want to tell you my setup and how im doing everything, so you can get an idea of what im doing.
-20L tank with UTH hooked up to thermostat around 85-90F basking
-digital thermometer on hot spot
-2 identical hides
-Climbing rock+branch
-plants
-water bowl
-calcium dish
-i feed a few crickets(as many as she will eat) every other day, dusted with calcium a few times a week.
-i give her a bath every other week to help with shedding(shes had perfect sheds every time ive had her)
let me know how that sounds...
I keep the hot side of my tank at 95-97F. I've kept them this way for a long time and never had any issues (many people will say that leos will catch on fire if you keep them at over 92F..). Higher temperatures mean better appetites and digestion. 90F, to me, is too cool. Everything else sounds fine. I do not find bathing necessary. If you have a moist hide for them to shed in there should be no issue. Leos are desert dwelling animals, as we know, and are pretty stressed by water most of the time. I throw a moist hide in their tanks when I notice they are going into shed. The rest of the time I let the hide stay dry.
You have to remember that these animals are very hardy and there are many, many ways to keep them successfully. My way isn't the only 'right' way. As long as your leo is healthy and happy, that is what matters.
