I've been reading all of the care sheets and they've definitely helped me out a lot! Thanks for all the help guys!

I have an opinion question though: As far as branches go, are they necessary? I was going to just pick a medium sized rock out of my back yard, wash it down really well and then stick it in his enclosure so he can rub on it for shedding.

I might just get a stick from my back yard too. But, no pine of course because of the sap/oils. I'll find a nice big oak tree maybe
