Hi there,

First time poster but have been doing a bit of reading lately...

We are getting a couple of rankins dragons next week and I have set up a couple of vivs (we are getting 2, one in each viv) so the vivs can be dialled in and anything wrong can be righted... the vivs are 36x15x15 each and have a basking light at one end (temps get up to 98ish degrees f) with a UV light all the way along the viv (well nearly all the way)... The logs are cork bark at and I am looking to add a piece of slate in the next week or so (probably in the basking area... the substrate is tortoise life substrate (recommended by the rep shop and on the bag it says its for reps from an arid type environment) and is nearly 2 inches deep. There is also a water dish (as seen in the pics). Any thing else I should add before I get the new babies...?? I pick them up next sunday and the kids are really looking forward to getting them in. Cheers all..

Nice set up you have for them, as your getting babies just keep an eye out that they are drinking as they can dehydrate quite quickly when very young, sometimes if they cant see the water surface they dont drink from the bowl if it has high sides, you can give them a light spraying and they will drink from this.
Good luck with them!

Thanks Jas and many thanks for your site too, as I read your rankins care sheet (and its one of the best there is) it means quite a bit to get the ok from you... thanks for the tip re water... will make sure I keep an eye on that...
