You DO NOT need a calcium dish in the viv if you are using an all in 1 suppliment like you are. Adding a dish to it could lead to too much calcium which could lead to calcium bubbles or worse, psudogout because the leo isn't ingesting enough D3 to absorb all that calcium they are taking in. Unless the leo you're getting is a hatchling or under 4 months old you do not need THAT much calcium.


I would make sure that your thermostat head is taped down so that it stays where you need it, and that statue of kokopelli also needs to be secure (which Im sure it is).



The tank looks great by the way. Young leos like it smaller as it is less wide open and intimidating. You can always put the food dish outside his favorite hide so he can't miss it, but he'll explore when youre not looking esp. if he smells food in the area.

Hahaha, again
IT LOOKS GREAT! Very Happy
Just make sure that coconut hut isn't too high up or he/she won't be able to climb up there! Wink
Love the gray tunnel/dish thing on the right. Let me know if your guy/girl likes it, I just saw one today and was thinking about getting it. :P

Awesome! I'm glad he can get up there! Couldn't tell from the pic how high up it was, so thought I'd mention it. : Glad he likes it!
My baby girl loves her coconut hut as well! Addicted to it! :P

Really love the new setup! Sure your little guy will think he lives on an estate. Lol. Also love the grey hide on cool side with water dish on top. Kinda like a house with a pool on the roof! Wicked!
