Sprinkle food with calcium supplement daily and a multi-vitamin supplement once or twice a week.
Vegetables not eaten within 24 hours should be discarded. Habitats constructed of mesh or screen are recommended. Substrate - Use alfalfa pellets, sphagnum moss and mulch-type substrates.
Temperature - Temperature gradient (100°F for the warm end and 70°F for the cool end); Use an incandescent light or ceramic heater as primary heat source.
Lighting - UVB rays with full spectrum lighting for 10 to 12 hours a day is required. An incandescent day bulb can be used for basking area during daylight hours only; can use a ceramic heater or nocturnal or red incandescent at all hours.
