Nice!! Thanks! :)

Great information! We used coco coir for a while and it seemed impossible to keep moist in his winter pen in the basement. It makes so much sense that without the overhead lighting it will retain moisture better, I hadn't really thought of that for his outdoor pen! Do you use a humidifier as...

Thanks again for all your help! And the follow up with the humidity example! It really helps put things into perspective!

Thank you so much for your input! It's nice to hear it will end up easier than I'm making it out to be! :) I'm excited to put all this good information to use! We are in the middle of moving right now so she'll have a temporary indoor setup in our garage for a little while yet.

That is a nice set-up! Lots to be inspired by! Thank you for the compliments and your input! :)

For the smaller house, do you never close the door, even in the coldest of nights? 12" is high enough for the plywood? I feel like my little lady is quite the climber... but maybe I am just paranoid! I was thinking of putting laminate down for flooring up to 12"+ as well. Those are some...

Thank you for taking the time to post such nice words!!

Thank you for the compliment and thank you for your input as well as tagging others!

Hi! Thank you for the compliment! To answer your questions: The green house will not be heated. I can't really make the enclosed part much bigger as it is part of an existing green house that will be modified. There will be a substantial portion of the yard fenced in specifically for the...

Wow everyone! Thank you for the quick responses, input, and compliments! I'm typing this from my phone and will respond individually when I get home from work tonight. :) I did want to clarify that outdoor enclosure would be about 6x8 but the enclosed yard for her to roam would be much...

Thank you so much! It's very nice to meet you! :) [hr] Thank you for the warm welcome! It is much appreciated! :) [hr] Thank you for the verification of the temp ranges! I'm still very happy that you both talked me into a temp gun! How freakin' handy! I'm going to try to keep the...

Tom and Sylvia, Thank you for your replies! I bought a temp gun after work. Hank's carapace clocked in at 94F and the area right under the light was 110F!! I never thought to get a gun to read his temps! I'm going to adjust the dimmer switch and try and get his carapace to the low 80s. Does...

Awww! Thank you, Jessica! Very nice to meet you!!

Hello, Tom! Thank you for your kind words, identifying the problem, and your suggestions! I’ve not tried a heat gun but his heat lamp is on a dimmer switch and the thermometer is up high near the light but about a foot away. His high for today was 82F. The thermometer system I use is a...
