Want to order most of it from one place to cut down on shipping. Is pangea probably my best bet since they carry the lights i need too?

Thinking of getting the grab bag of flats, slate, obviously some hides and branches + fake plants.

What fake plants are best?

Thanks!

somewhat related when quarantine is over and I need to put the leo in a temporary container to put the substrate in do i need like a heating pad for it?

[left acorn]

nah

they can vibe for a bit while you fix the tank up :3

it won't hurt them

[gleaming granite]

oki

sounds good

do people mostly design habitats from lookin at the inspo channel?

[left acorn]

It helps! But. I honestly just... wing it

i place hides first, then my pieces of wood then cork 😮

[gleaming granite]

oh okay i was curious if just winging it was a bad idea or not

[left acorn]

whatever looks good/ balances out / doesn't wobble etc

[gleaming granite]

do they need underground area?

[left acorn]

it's not needed! I just added it to mine for an extra bit of fun

[gleaming granite]

yours is so nice!

[left acorn]

mine dig quite a bit and like to lay in their little cubby holes so i provided them an underground hide and a few cubby holes under their basking spots

[gleaming granite]

very nice

is it safe to make a slate hide?

or should I buy a plastic one and put slate on it

[left acorn]

some people silicone it together to be 100% safe! but my basking spot kinda acts like a slate hide 😮 my rocks are all just very well secured on eachother so they're not gonna go anywhere

i use the plastic hide in the back of the warm side to help support them as well

[gleaming granite]

nice!

yeah that’s what i was thinking for the warm hide

[left acorn]

Can see in lemon’s tank what I mean ouo

[gleaming granite]

so nice

looks very comfortable:)
