Thanks again for the advice. Chompy has gained 4 grams Will do. Slowly but surely I’m getting things right. :)

Thanks again for the advice. Chompy has gained 4 grams! Whoop. Also readjusted basking light to move it higher. She is getting directly underneath now.

The butter lettuce was a big hit. Chompy is now a member of the clean plate club.

I’ve removed the hay shelter. I will see if I can find some of the original Mazuri. (Chompy totally ignores the LS kind I currently have.) good to know about the chard. I planted some testudo seed mix today. We’re having a really warm dry winter here so I’m hoping it sprouts. Thanks for taking...
