exo Terra repti glo 10 36inc
something to bask on
live food
calcium
vits

more things to clime on lol
o and a beardie

temp keep babies at about 105 degrees in the basking spot and about 75 at the other end .
turn down to about 65 70 at night
spay 2 a day for baby's and 1 a week for adults as they got alot of moisture from the greens.
and don't feed them food bigger than the gap in between there eyes
think that's it hope it helps if i think of anything IL post it
