I have had Harper for one month now and as of today she is 8 months old, 4.5 inches, 325 G! Her new favorite things are chewing on a cuttlefish bone, digging down in her warm hide, basking under her primary solar raptor UV, eating grass, & lounging in her water dish under her secondary uv heat light. Oh & pooping in her soaking tub is also up there.

Am I getting lucky with all this or what :)

Got mine from Reptile Outpost. I called them & he walked me through everything I needed. Its pricey at first to set it all up but replacement bulbs are verry reasonable. I am getting really great readings from it. My out put for the new power sun bulb in same tank & height is 60 solar reading is 160!
