    i plan on moving log back to middle, and replacing with a similiar hide like one on cold side, as suggested. still need to buy few more plants to fill it so it feels more comfy in there and not so scary for her.

    Looks good. The only thing I have to say about it has already been covered

    Although I would still recommend that you replace the Heat bulbs this these: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...uctId=11147193

    I would get the Red build in 100 Watts (if your lamp can handle 100 watts) for the hot side and put the heat lamp on a light dimmer like this one:

    you will only need to use 1 lamp on the hot side then.

    I would then get a 50 or 75 way red bulb for the cool side and put it on a dimmer as well.

    The Blacklight (UV) bulbs do not put out much heat so you might even be able to get away with just the 75 watt red bulb on the hot side.

    Make sure that you get a red bulb like the one I put a link for in pervious post and not just a regular light bulb with a red coating on it. The bulb I recommended puts out a different type of light than regular bulbs.


    Over time the entire enclosure will get hotter then eventually settle into its normal temperature. This can take up to a week. I really doubt that you will need both lamps on the hot side unless your room stays really cold (as in less than 62 degrees)

    Instead of getting more plants, I would move that log hide behind the water dish and replace it with another cave-style hide. Since they're open at both ends, the logs don't really provide that much security, but it could work as a tunnel that reduces the overhead exposure when your BP goes from one side to the other.
