Infrared? Do you mean ultraviolet? 'Goyles do not need UVB and in most areas do not need supplemental heating.

The Repashy Superfoods MRPs for gargoyles is pretty nearly foolproof. Provide freshly mixed food every two days, or even every three days depending on how humid your enclosures are. If it will accept hand-fed baby food (generally a bad idea) it will accept MRP. Best way to gauge condition is to monitor the weight.
