    Does the leo have a heat pad? They need a heat pad and a hide. Lights aren't really a necessity. I use Reptisun 5.0 only because I put live plants in all my terrariums. Great advice above. They tend to eat less during the cold season. Make sure the leo gets misted or soaked. When the leo sheds, make sure the shed comes off of each little toe. Otherwise, the shed can get stuck and cut off circulation. Then the leo will lose the toe. Once you see the shed, check the toes. If any shed remains on the toe, you can use a little warm water to soak the toe and foot in the palm of your hand. After a few seconds, it should easily rub right off if you rub your finger down the toe. Glad Skinny Pete is recovering.

    He definitely has a heat pad. The only light I use is a small desk lamp pointed upward, with a dimmer to dim the light as the day goes on.
    Also, he has one hot hide, one cool hide, and one humid hide. He uses his humid hide enough that I don't think soaking will be necessary. He's shed twice without any problems. I do check his toes after, and they seem alright.

    Thanks for the extra advice! He's been pretty active lately, so I might start opening up the cage to "pet" him on the back when he's out and about.
    That way, he can get use to the idea of me being around and handling him in the future.
