Hi everyone!

I'm a new member but have been lurking for months. I had a regular brown/green in the past, but just purchased a strawberry pineapple. I want to give him/her a light, but I'm not sure what would be safe since he/she is technically an albino. I read the enclosure set up and I'm still confused.

Some background info: I currently have a 10 gallon tank, eco earth substrate, a UTH on the side of the tank, and a water bowl. The top is a regular metal cover so I have it partially covered to keep the humidity up. He is doing great, eating like a champ from day 1, and pooping normal. I am using a calcium plus D3 supplement 4 feedings per week, and a vitamin once a week (he's still growing). I have 2 bearded dragons as well, so I breed dubia and superworms. I also have hornworms, silkworms, butterworms at various times. And of course now earthworms too exclusively for the frog!

I would also like to tong feed him but he's not cooperating. I watched 2 recommended youtube videos on tong feeding but they didn't help. He doesn't eat when I am watching, ever. He puffs up at the tongs and closes his eyes sometimes when I put food by his mouth. Is it ok to not feed him for 2 days and then try the tongs? He's about an inch and a half SVL. I don't want to starve him if it's not a good idea at his size.

Thanks!!! And I love this board!! You have so much great info that I didn't need to join to ask anything until now!
