Noob - Cage and temp help

Hi,

3 - 3-4 month Leapords in a 23 gallon cage. I know-- if they are two males or start fighting split them up already have cages ready to go. Cage is 30"x18"X13"

So does this sound right?

Hot side-- 50W dome basking, 40W red dome, UTH -- 90-92
Cool side - 5W UVB just for cosmetic 80-85
Night temp - 70 UTH on 24/7

Three hiding - 1 hot - 1 middle Moss for moisture - - 1 cool

Water dish- calc dish

Feeding 35 - gut load and dusted Crickets 30 minutes after lights go out.

Don't see them basking at all they are active when out of cage and of course at night.

What am I missing - I think I am going to add more butter or wax worms fatten up a little. --


Two have gone through sheds- clear eyes

Taco is active - plays all the time
Blue is fun active most of the time calm to hold
IGBM (Don't ask)-- playful - little hyper -

Anything to change, observe, improve?

What is Rephasy?

Thanks

You can sell your basking lights I believe. Depending on the person, lights are pretty unnecessary for leopard geckos. A low UVB red light during the day is recommended if you just want one. Basking rocks and lights are not needed because leopard geckos get their calcium through what they eat and absorb and are not basking reptiles. Make sure to feed them calcium dusted crickets and supplement dusted crickets (do some research to find out the best feeding plan for you!) and if you want to store or sell your lights. In some cases leopard actually get sunburn from high UVB lights being kept in their living spaces, so be careful and have fun! Take care, Beck.

Also remember butter and waxworms are special treats! Try not to feed them more than 3 worms a piece a week. I like to do five waxworms a gecko a month. Too many can cause fatty liver disease and with a steady diet over time your geckos will fatten up on their own. Also sometimes leopard geckos will go on hunger strikes! Do a little research on that too, but the rule of thumb is if they're not sickly or rapidly losing weight, just keep offering food until they begin eating again. -Beck.
