That being said if anyone else has more tips I'm still very much open to them!
They do just fine eating in their own habitat, in the wild they do just fine. I’m much more concerned now with the 90 to 95, just so you know it’s way easier to overheat then you realize. On here most say 92 degrees tops. Me personally , and I know I’m not the only one prefer 88 to 90. Especially little ones, much easier to overheat. Plus the 88/90 is better for yearlings anyway. Peace
