Hi all. I have a couple of Leo's (Peachy & Blondie) that are about 4-5". I have had Peachy for about a year and Blondie for about 6 months. The kids named them by the way.
My question is regarding their activity. They are not very active and only eat every couple of days on their own or when I take them out of the hide and spray them with water. Once they are out and about, they seem happy and wander around for a while before hiding again. I have heard and read that Leos can be shy but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything that could be effecting ther health.
I soak them 2-3 times a week in warm water for 15-20 minutes. They are in a 4'x2' rabbit cage with coco fiber, sphagnum and Timothy hay. The have a 100 watt UVB bulb on one end and a 60 W ceramic heater on the other. The get romaine lettuce, greens, dandelion mostly with a suppliment every few days. They always have access to fesh water in a small dish.
Is this normal behavior for young Leos or am I missing something?
Cheers-
