So I finished a 30 gal tank for Dwight tonight and he just moved in. I know tanks arnt the best but my apartment is so small it will have to do for the next several months. Anyway tonight has been full of new beginings for me and Dwight. To start with ive had him about a month and a half and hes never had a "sucessful" soak. Well tonight was the night. I soaked him for about 20 mins with no bodily functions (hes never gone during a soak before) so I picked him up and held him and then it happened...all over my hand. So he got back in his tub and continued. I took pictures. I was a proud mommy. A bit later I put him in his new home and well he hasnt gotten past the spring mix yet but im still excited. I even made him a cave. What do y'all think?

Please read Toms threads below in my post. You can get the pyramiding under control and start growing new growth in smooth. Also, a large tote box from Home Depot will give more room for less money. You can even connect more then one together each time he needs more room. It would be nice to plant a plant or two, but I'm afraid he won't have any walking room. Not bad, but needs to be larger.

Kim read Tom's threads. And I second the last post . Get you a xmas tree tote from walmart or home depot . He needs way more room . Also he needs a uvb light if your not letting it get outside in the sun . I also keep my baby sully in a aquarium but he is only 2 1/2 " long . Sorry if I am telling you stuff you may know but his humidity needs to be at least 80/90% .temps need to be 80 on cool side and 100 in basking spot . Like I said sorry if you already new these things .
