I am getting a little leopard hatchling on Friday from turtles and tortoise inc. and am a little nervous. I have a 7-8 month old sulcata Morla and she has done great, eating well. I have a 20g long and a 40g breeder tank that I was going to use but am unsure of which tank would be better. I am also going to use a 100w MVB bulb for her. I live in Florida so when the weather permits she and Morla will go outside. Any advise will be great, thank you

When the weather permits...has FL turned Arctic since I left 11 years ago? When I lived there it was 65-70 during December and over a hundred most of the remaining 11 months of the year! If they're safe, you should leave 'em outside whenever the sun is out...they're more hearty than you might think! If you have a good lawn and bushed...they'll make good use of them for snacking and mostly for hiding! I hope this is an option for you...and we'd love to get regular updates...with pictures;)
