Tabitha asked:


I just bought a Tetra Aquatic Reptile heater for my turtle’s 20 gallon tank but it’s not seeming to heat the tank at all. It’s been plugged in and in there for almost 5 hrs and it doesn’t seem to be working yet. Has anyone had one of these before? And how quick did it start to work?

I have a baby leo at home that i just bought an i am using calcium sand for my under tank heater/pad. Should i use sand what else can i use with it. Would i be able to use paper towels would that be safe?

And i am feeding him meal worms would that be healthy for him. I havn’t put any vitamens on them becuase i don’t know how to do it. And how do you make the meal worms ”gut loaded”.
