    Getting my first leo!

    Well, one of my friends has a diablo blanco clutch coming along and I'm going to be picking up one of the hatchlings. I'm super stoked because that's my favorite morph of all time and I'll finally have an excuse to have more crickets in my house instead of having to buy half a dozen at a time for my T's lol.

    So I read over the care sheet and can get all my supplies from my work, which is a nice bonus, so I just wanted to hear from keepers what brands they'd recommend. I have a 5.5 gal that I'm going to clutter up with plants and such for the little guy, paper towel sub and I was thinking of doing a che for ambient temp and a uth for the basking spot. Any tips are appreciated

    I dust their food with the Repashy all in one, and I use Professional Reptiles Pro Gutload to feed the feeders. Don't forget the humid hide. Mine spend 95% of the time in their humid hides.

    I don't dust their food, but I have a milk jug lid or soda bottle lid with calcium powder in their tubs at all times. Make sure you get the calcium without D3 as they get plenty of it from their food and can overdose on the vitamin.

    The best thing that has worked for me as in food and water bowls is the clear glass votive holders I get at Walmart for 2 for $1. But of course for the hatchlings I use milk jug lids or soda bottle lids as the geckos are too small to get up to the bowl.
