      Thank you so much for watching!
      Yes for the uvb you will want the 10.0 output. The long tube bulbs are better than the swirly ones. Get the longest bulb and light fixture possible for the uvb.
      For the heat I’m using 100w but it depends on how high up the light is. , enclosure size etc. Just monitor the temp and adjust accordingly

    Hi! I have been watching your videos and have seen you change Frankie's enclosure a couple of times. Will you give me a list of what you add for his bedding and where you get the stuff? I just recently got a couple of leopards myself. If you can direct me to what is best for my little guys, I will be much appreciate. I have seen pet stores and other videos with wood chips from zoo med repti-bark for bedding. But then i just recently saw your past videos
    that it can possibly cause Pyramiding

      Hi! So technically the bedding itself won’t cause the pyramiding but a dry climate will. Cypress mulch, sphagnum moss, and a soil play sand mix will hold moisture more than other substrates. In Frankie’s indoor enclosure I use a 50/50 mix of top soil and play sand. Out doors I have grass and soil. Both enclosures have a sphagnum moss hide that I make sure to keep moist.

      I get the play sand and top soil from Home Depot. You can also use cypress mulch. The sphagnum moss I get from reptile store. Pretty sure you can get it from Amazon too

    hello...
    Is it babcoki pardalis or giant pardalis?
    how to make it white?

    • @christinemrtz

      I’m not sure which one to be honest!
      But I do not do anything to make him more white. I believe he is a high white leopard tortoise which is why he is more white

      I think he can handle it but I may have to add a rail if needed
