Ah. So she probably doesn't climb NOW but she'll soon figure it out. Gotcha. To the hardware store I go :-)

That's what my husband said we should do. I'm wondering if she doesn't know how to climb because she's been in a glass tank her whole life. There are scratches on the wood walls from her nails and they aren't any taller than her mid shell hight. [hr] I was looking at those pictures again and...

Of course not. Guess I'll go get some plexiglass. There's nothing for her to stand on to get up the sides. How tall do you suggest the sides be?

That IS out in the country, huh? ;-) I'm in West Chester 20 min north/east of Cincy

HA!! Cute

What a sweet picture!

Not a clue. Take it to a nursery and ask them

Poor Joe - and you! :-} Can you see the implant? you said he put it in through his leg? What the heck is it? Hopefully it works!!

Where are you? Is this Ohio?

Sorry - forgot to say hi and welcome when I butted my question in up there!! ;-) You'll love this forum. There's so much crapy information out there that I don't even bother to look for info outside this forum anymore. There's always someone here to give you advice and info! Enjoy!

Ug!! I'm still trying to figure out how to quote people. Anyway - so do I need to worry about the sides if she hasn't even tried to climb up the walls?

What wattage do you suggest?

LOL!! Roxanne burrowed down and apparently fell fast asleep with her legs sticking out of the burrow. Hee hee!

Is the red cabbage in the spring mix ok for them?

They're 10" tall. I was afraid of that too but she hasn't even tried to climb them. I've thought about putting plexiglass on the sides just in case

I don't know how handy you are but we made one this past weekend for about 40 bucks. It's just a piece of plywood and we framed the sides tall enough so she can't climb out. I looked around for a pre made one and this was the best solution because you can make it the exact size you want.

That is a UVB tube under the hood. I've worried about the night heating also but it only goes down to about 65-68 at night so I think she's good without anything at night.

Thanks everyone. My humidity on the cooler side is about 60 and the substrate feels pretty good

I'm a newbie but I've read the T Rex is better? The reviews on the other one isn't very good - they said the bulb is different now and the company lowered the UVB output. Anyway, If I use one of these bulbs, I don't have to use the UVB bar anymore? What do I put for light, etc on the other...
