Yellow Ackies

I just got my Yellow Ackie, i was wondering the care sheet for them. Can any1 tell me wuts the basking spot temp should and cool side. And also i was wondering night temp for the Yellow Ackie. Can some post ASAP, so i can correct any temp problem before its to late.

Thanks

I keep mine at 80 on the cool end, 140 basking. You can get away with anything about 120, but mine love it hot.
I find this the best care sheet. http://www.kingsnake.com/acanthurus/care/index.html

Wut size tank do u have him? I have mine is a 10 Gallon with a 75 wutt bulb. Right the temp is about 110. Wut is the best subtrate to have?? I had jungle mix and he keep gettin dirt on his eyes so i changed it to carpet untill his eyes clear. Wut about night temperature since it night right now(asap)??

is yours a baby? I have my adults in a 4'X2'x2'. Thats what you are going to need in less than a year. I keep night at around 80. Also, I use 1' of dirt/sand mix in my adult cage, but for babies id use a few inches. Also, I feed crickets daily, and mice on sunday for adults. Be prepared to use a lot of feeders.

yea mine is a baby, about couple of months old.(3-5) I had the tank already thats why i put him in there for now until he starts growing. Is you night temp, room temp or you have a night bulb?

id buy at least a 20 gallon, maybe 30 until he is an adult. I use a ceramic bulb at night. Ackies are very active, and need lots of room.

So u think the 10 gall is small for him, i can swat my snake with him. So u think a 75w Nigth Glow bulb show be good for the night?? And do u think ZooMed Eco Earth and Calci-Sand Cage Litter would be a good mix?

I have another question. I just got my ankie and i threw in some crickets and his ignoring them. Is it because his in a new encloser. He warms up and explore the cage and don't bother with the crickets. I was just wondering if he needs time to get use to the new cage?? If any1 can help, i will appreciate alot.

thanks

he will eat again once he is in his new enclosure for a while and gets used to his new surroundings. You could always throw him a pinky to get him stimulated, they very rarely turn them down. how big is he??

his only few months old, where i got him form they fed him med cricket every day or every other day. I say his probably between 2-4 months olds.
