    Temporary enclosure 1:2 done and PAM'd. This is just a precaution as I've had to battle mites before and don't want to do that again http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12...84d0f9c53d.jpg

    Hey disaff try using a 2 layer substrate. Like soaking wet coco fiber and then a dry either aspen or reptibark. Keeps real good humidity and no misting required

    NewEngland Herpetoculture might have one they could sell you.
    Maybe try contacting Exo-Terra directly.

    So, the disaster??
    Assuming the technicals are correct, looks like a nice place.

    Had her in the tub and she soaked all the paper towels. And there was poop everywhere. It was fun

    She is probably just stressed.
    Mine went through a stage where they pooped and musked abundantly every time I handled them.
    STINKY!

    Now, both are pretty chill.:)

    I didn't realize how much these guys like to burrow. Scared me I thought she had gotten out but she was just chilling in the dirt

    Both of my Cal Kings love to burrow, but especially Ssa. Her favorite hides are basically just the lid off of a hide sitting right down into her bedding, and a flat piece of cork bark - she burrows in and out under them, and won't have anything to do with hides that have more room.

    I had a cal king and he spent most of his time on a little lip right under the lid and climbing. It's fun to watch this gal tunnel

    My male likes to climb - He used to hang out under the lip on his lid until I moved him to a different style tub. The female did so, but to a lesser degree. She's rather burrow.
