    Questions and comments on enclosure set up

    Hi guys, I've recently acquired the exoterra rocks, large Low and rainforest UTH for my BP. Any comments would be great!





    The UTH is under the big rock on the right. I removed the top cover for pictorial purposes. Humidity is 60-70% and temperature is around 30 Celsius. Bedding is exoterra's forest moss on top of rabbit litter (just trying to finish it up because I don't have rabbits anymore). Comments would be great!

    Question: my BP just shed but in 2 pieces. One big piece followed by a tiny piece. Should I be worried? I'll attach a picture of the big piece below

    First major question is: How are you regulating the temperature of the UTH?
    Second is: What is the temperature UNDER your substrate?

    Hi! Regulating it with a thermostat with a max temp of 34 Celsius with reference to the caresheet on this forum. I just placed my digital thermometer at the tank bottom, it reads 32 Celsius still too cold perhaps?

    As for the shed question, as long as everything comes off and nothing gets stuck, no. Don't worry. That humidity is fine for shedding.

    Thanks streller. I decided just to be v accurate and placed my oral thermometer on the bottom of the tank lol. It reads 35.4 Celsius to be exact. Is that too hot now? Because the caresheet says max basking temp is 94 farenheit which is abit 34.44 celsius
