OK i put leaf litter on the bottom and im going out tomorrow to find logs and stuff for it to hide under/in to feel more secure. I saw him basking yesterday when i put the plants in there but they were dead when i went in there today so i have to get more plants.but the temps are about 100 degrees on the surface of the basking site and about 80 on the cool side with 70%+ humidity. I appreciate you helping me out on this.
