Well he is settling in and he is eating well. Tried him on a little banana as a treat, scoffed it down. We still not thought of a name though... we are arguing over boys and girls names.Strange situation :)

Hi Maggie, I have been reading lots of toms articles and I plan on making some changes to his/hers environment this weekend. It is a closed chamber so thats all good. I am going to see if I can pick up some coconut coir. I also plan on getting a ceramic bulb to replace the red one. Oh and...

all i do is keep revisiting the advert hoping someone has took them on. They are still available though. I understand my wife's view though , we have 3 children, 3 dogs and 1 little sulcata so its a busy household already.

That's quite a turn around from most things I have read. Be interested to hear what most people use?

Ah missed that one. I know sand and soil is a good mix and had planned to put that in. I will swap this over next week

The good thing Tom is that I will be sure to try 'educate' the store. I want to digest all the info first so I am not just spitting out quotes. Its nice to see how knowledgeable you are... the forum is blessed to have you on here bud.

phebe, the sentiment is there. We put our deposit down over a week ago and you have that sense of ownership and part of the family as I treat all my 'pets'. I am still worried now though that due to the poor start there may be health implications later on. I am interested on the recovery side...
