    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hard to tell, with these photos, but it is an Albino of some sort.
Yes, I would recommend heat tape or UTH.
They do drink more often than you'd think. Providing clean water, 24/7, is necessary for whenever they do choose to drink.
Hides, on hot & cold side, is good. As is your providing a calcium dish.
If I were you, I'd get rid of the sand and just use paper towels (or the like). Also, you need to provide a "wet hide".
 
I had a wet hide but it just shed so I took it out, and I will be buying some heat tape tomorrow do I just put it on half the tank? And I usually tong feed it so I didn't think sand would be harmful ? And are they good at detecting water by there own?
 
I would leave a wet hide in 24/7.
The heat tape only needs to be no more than a quarter of the tank. A wee less would be fine too.
Whether feeding, or not, Leos like to lick a lot. So, I still wouldn't have sand as the substrate.
Yes, they are good at finding/detecting water on their own.
 
Am sure you are likely to know this but it bothered me, later, that I did not mention it.
With the heat tape/UTH, make sure you use a thermostat or rheostat.
