    We fixed the screen door in his original tank and bought a 150W CHE lamp for night time. The temps ranged from 80 to 83 degrees F since the tank is deep and has screen cover. The humidity is low though. Still working on it, figured that this is good place for him to sleep for now.

    Decided to invest in closing off his enclosure. If he gets bigger, we’ll figure out how to move this outside in a safe area. I get what everyone is saying now about this being a temporary place.

    Tom sent me three links. This was one of them. It's under one his "enclosure threads" I wouldn't have been able to find it or know which one to buy otherwise. There's so much out there and I'm so new at this.

    Yeah, so at night. We take him into the tank that was given to us when we first brought him home. Not sure if you have seen it. He only has his cave in there. The tank is located in our bedroom. We take him out at 12pm and place him in here since it's not fully functional yet. I feel better...

    My fiance made it lol. He was pretty frustrated seeing that we don't have the proper tools or table. I'm a little confused about the CHE lights. I thought that would dry up my enclosure. my basking bulbs is 150 watt. the top of his shell reads 91 degrees F
