dimensions are 4'l-2 1/2'w-1't.
i have a 60w che in the middle, which runs all the time.
a 100w halogen on the right
and a 60w grow light on the left during the day.
and a 24" uvb tube will be added along the side.

on top of the humid hide i have some succulents which she cannot get to. along with a few spider plants that have their leaves dangling inside the enclosure.
water dish with mulch and fake plants on one side.
humid hide with sphagnum moss in it placed in the middle.
log hide placed in the center
and a hay hide towards the right.
plenty of hiding places under plants as well.
the right side is the basking area as well as where i feed her. it also had a fake plant to hide in.
i mist the side with mulch daily.

basking temp: 102°
ambient temp: 88°
night temp: 78°
cool side temp: 79°

I'm happy with it and she seems to be as well :) this is her 3rd home so far, i hope i got it right! any suggestions?
i was thinking of adding some dirt to the mulch and growing some clover.

will add pictures in 2 minutes, they won't upload from my phone and i do not want to type this again :D

Great job explaining it all, but I'm more of a visual person! Post pictures please.

I'm a little worried about all the lights. Halogen, glow and flourescent in a not so big 4x2 1/2 enclosure. I would get rid of the halogen if it were me. See what others say. Other then that sounding good.
