    Re: Shedding concern
    I just took him out of the soak and was able to rub off most of the unshedded skin from his tail to the thin part of his neck. As i got closer to his head he got pretty mad and seemed quite stressed so I am going to leave him alone for a few hours to get familiar with some of the new additions to his tank. I think I will use a luke warm face cloth to try and wipe his head tonight.

    I am now working with digital thermometers - one in each side of the tank. It seems to cold withut the lamp above the warm side - so for now I am trying it on - at 94.1 right now and 58%$ humidity, so I am going to turn it off for a while. Not sure how to regulate temp on the warm side.

    The colder side is at 80.4 and 56% humidity and I added an upturned clay flower pot with the bottom bored out with damp paper towels in the bottom.

    Can anyone explain to me in more detail how to heat the warm side better? Right now I have an under tank Flukers heat mat tapped under his ihde area and another smaller one a bit above the substrate level on the side of the tank making an L-Shape heat mat area more or less. What is a more optimal solution - someone previously mentioned Flexwatt (I think).

    Again, you folks are making a great difference in helping me get started properly.

    Thanks so much.
