Thanks for all the warm welcomes. You guys are all such friendly, helpful people :)

Here are some pictures of Napoleon's shell, @GingerLove

And look! Napoleon seems more awake! Although he still sleeps all the non-bathing times :/

Here's his enclosure. I know it needs some renovations and to be bigger which will take a while but if you see any glaring errors... please let me know. There's usually more substrate in it but i didn't fill it in yet so you can see what is on the bottom

Another question: the heat lamp I had earlier broke. The new one (from above) is on order, but is there anything I can use to substitute while I wait? I was thinking a Halogen desk lamp but I'm scared that it will hurt him.
until your new light arrives you can use a regular incandescent light bulb. He can go a couple of days without UVB if necessary
