He had a mooch while i was downstairs, ran about. Basked, climbed on the rocks ect ect.

As he prefers to come out when dark and quite, should i leave his heat lamp on so he can come out at night?

He has a dark hide and stuff.

ah well if he likes to come out when its dark...then you wana turn the bulb off at night..
do you have just the blue bulb?
defo needs to know the difference between night and day.
so with the blue bulb still on temps would stay like daytime?

even though he is a baby he will be fine with nigt tiem temps of 70f.

Like i said before, whole prey items, try and stick to feeder insects, it works out more expensive than rodents, but boscs have got huge appetites and a fast metabolism. lamb is extremely fatty and reptiles have trouble digesting fat as it is, when i had my bosc, if it wasnt alive and kicking, or an in-tact corpse, it didnt go on the menu. Im sure if you gave it to him, he'd wolf it down, but then if you give kids mcdonalds, they do the same thing, doesnt mean its good for them just because they like it, thats why theres an epidemic of fat kids!
