Glass tank, was on reptibark when it started, has been on newspaper ever since. Heat pad under tank regulated with dimmer switch and temp gun. I do a thorough clean whenever he makes a mess. I did the full course of injections starting immediately after seeing the vet. Also rubbed betadine and flamazine on his belly every day for two weeks as instructed by the vet. The culture came in a week later which is when they wanted to give me the parasite medicine.
