In the bottom one, I wouldn't put any heat and I'd use a good humidity holding substrate. That would give your carpet a lot of options to self regulate and encourage her to move throughout the enclosure.
I like this. That's sort of what she has right now maybr a bit opposite, but both sides do have heat. The side with the RHP has the hottest side but gets the most humidity. Every morning when I spray I spray heavily and she comes up from the cool ground to the high spot by the RHP.
The other side is basically an open box as I just connected them and it wasn't ever decorated well. Her original enclosure has been that way for years (which I know should change for enrichment) and the rhp is sort of custom cut to fit the top.
So it's a weird sort of situation I guess I hadn't considered. Seems like a redesign is in need. I have tons of huge driftwood and stuff that could be used. I'll see what I can ponder up and maybe post some updates here on redesign. [emoji2]

You've got the building blocks for a world-class enclosure. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
Oh! And give her a sky hide. If she likes being up high, she might really like that.

Dug out these 3 pieces of wood for the bones of the other side of the enclosure. I have a new VE-200 coming soon then I can finally separate my burm and carpet off the same thermo and get this redesign started [emoji375] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f0998e91ae.jpg

Pics of the joined enclosure, thanks for the inputs. I used pieces from the cutouts to build a barrier so substrate wouldn't fall from the top to bottom. She seems happy and immediately found the transition spot. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7def840bd6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5ad35c37ec.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7120cbaa24.jpg
