my boy is Riku hes about two and a half,he's an absolute puppy with me, cant say hes fond of anyone else who's tried to handle him. Does any one know if its safe to keep him in a box when its cold out, recently hes been grouchy in his tank(i guess hes not a fan of the space). Are heating pads safe i don't want him to burn his stomach. his tank is 40 gallons. his diet is mainly medium mice and the occasional bug when he catches it i feed him after he poops out the bone goo when he wants it usually a week apart not always. his lamp uses a UV bulb stays on 24/7 his hide is a little bigger than him his water dish is an old ceramic pie dish (pictures soon to follow) i use Eco earth coconut substrate for his bedding. i clean before i feed him he seems to like the box and enjoys (wrapping around my arm and "arm wrestling" me) i wash his hide when poop gets on it otherwise i leave it.i clean his bowl when he gets substrate in it witch is often. please let me know if anything here is bad practice and if i need anything else. Please ask me anything else that you might need of me for better details.
