Photo Gallery :: Introducing Leo

Hi everyone, I got Leo last December. I am not sure yet if it's a boy or girl but he/she has stole my heart! I have always been a lurker here and decided to post some pics. I hope I do it right.

Leo is adorable, and your tank is really nice, but do you have a UVB..UVA full spectrum light for your tank besides a basking light. UVB helps prevent bone disease. I keep a repti..sun 10.0, besides a heat light for basking. It has 10% UVB and 30% UVA. I helps with appetite too. Everything else is really great, and Leo looks so healthy too. There are people here who know much more than I do and can give you some great info.

Oh my gosh it's easy to see why Leo stole your heart! He's a sweetie.

Terryo makes a good point. It looks like there's only one light and you'll need two - one for heat (to motivate the turtle to bask) and one for UVB (so he can metabolise calcium). Otherwise, beautiful setup!

Thank you all so much for letting me know about the other light. I have seen that on other pictures but wasn't sure what is was for. I'll be sure to get one.
