Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

my leo setup
ofcourse the wire will be under stuff lol, but what do you think for this setup? for 2 adult females? the UTH is crappy but it's slowly raising up on full power in an hour or so it should be finished so i can dim it down to where it needs to be lol. warm now is like 85, cool is 76
also my suppliments, will be feeding the crix oats but what about this for the calcium and vitamine dusts? i hope they're a good brand, the calc, doesn't say anything about having vitamins in it as well.

Those supplements arent the greatest. I use Rep-cal Calcium and Rep-Cal Multivitamins. Rep-cal has been recommended by many leo breeders and my Veterinarian.
Cool setup.
Good Luck

i know where i can buy it, just needed something for the next week or so, i think this will be just fine, i got 20 crix in that 10g so far, they probably wont eat tonight, or if i'm lucky the guy i'm getting the leo's from might have some crix for me temp is at 87 still very slowly rising, where should i look for the hotside to stop at? i made a new humid hide lol. one of those togo containers filled with bed-a-beast (similar) it's coconut fibers lol hopefully it'll be ok, i feel like i got too much junk in there gotta have a corner they'll go to the bathroom in too, and ofcourse more papertowels/newspaper means less heat will go thru ugh not fair lol, do you guys notice yours going on the hot or the cold side more? the bathroom that is.

ok temps are now on the surface (if the probe is under the towel's it's in the 90's) but what it is reading now is.
75 cool
86 warm it's a tote andi dont have a screen top for it otherwise i'd put a light on it this UTH is soooo horrible, but it's gotta last a few days till my 11" flexwatt comes in then i can put a small strip on here and use the dimmer and we should be set but until then i hope these temps will stay, ofcourse it always goes down when i open the top lol, weird, the closet is showing 78 was thinking of putting them ontop of my snake cage too to see if that would boost the heat which it may i may do that in about an hour to see what that does for temps

I recommend measuring the hot temp on the floor inside the hot hide. They don't generally hang out in the open (especially when new and stressed out), so you should try to make the hides the correct temperature.
What is the dimension of the tote you are putting them in? It does look a bit crowded, especially if you are still putting in a humid hide. How many leos are going in there? What age? By the size of those crickets, I would assume adult...
I highly recommend installing a screen top in the lid of the container if you are not able to use a thermostat on the UTH currently, as the entire container might heat up so much that it won't matter where the hot or cold side is. From my experience, the air inside closed containers gets pretty warm and humid quickly. Also, they need fresh air, so at the very least, puncture a lot of holes in the sides of the container.
To make a screen lid, go to a hardware store, and buy an appropriate size of aluminum fly screen. Then just cut a large hole in the center of the lid, and hot glue the screen to it. It's pretty simple and only takes 5 minutes to do the whole thing. All my crested rubbermaids have this, and I did it to a leo bin that I use as temporary housing.
People here on fauna are nice, and will answer questions if you ask! I think most people will agree that we'd prefer you ask a "dumb" question and help out your gecko(s) rather than have them in a non-ideal situation.
Goodluck with your new friends, and careful, you can't have just one!
