for right now i have about 40 or 50gallon terarium. i use powdered calcium supplements about every two to three days and most of what i feed him are grasses. i have a nice heat light, a day light, and uvb light. doesnt get much natural sun cuz its usually cold outside, but i take him out as much as possible to run around in the grass
