Sandswimmer Care

[Ninjaette]

I apologise in advance to anyone who has asked this question before, but what are the basic husbandry requirements for sandswimmers? Most importantly, do they need UV light?
I was thinking of getting one soon..

Thanks heaps in advance!

Pretty easy to care for. I keep my adult in a 3ft tank with sand. Hot spot around 30odd degrees etc. I don't have UV on him but dust his food with calcium & D3 powder.
They are eating machines and can get obese if you let them. Mine is on a diet as his tail is fatter than his body :shock:
If you get more than one, you need to watch them incase they fight as they can kill each other quite quickly.
