    Whole new home today!

    Well today we went out and bought a whole new setup for Betsy (thats her name now). I was wrong she was in a 10 gallon tank and we bought a 20 long for her. We bought new substrate, Heat bulb, UTH, thermometer- hygrometer and a new basking log. After her eating about 4 hours ago I dont know if it was a good idea to change her whole home after she ate but its done now. After putting her in she is very active going around the tank and exploring around. My fiance took her out about 10 minutes ago and betsy is all over my fiance crawling all over her. Is this ok that she is this active? Sorry if these are dumb questions but we are new to the reptile world and want the best for Betsy. Thanks.

    It is advised to let them rest (no handling) atleast 48 hours after eating.

    Also how old/big is her?

    For that size, a 10 gallon isn't bad, on the brightside, the 20 will last you longer
