    How big should she be...

    I have my lemon pastel in a 10gal ter. right now. Im wondering how big she should be before I can put her in a 26qt tub. Shes about 230g at the moment. Can she make the switch now or is 26qt still a little too big for her? Just wanting to swotch her over as soon as I can cause the temps and humidity are alot easier to control in the rack.
    Thanks!

    Put her in the rack, she'll be fine.

    I've put 500 gram animals into 42 quart bins with just a small hide, and they're happy.

    I think you could switch her now. The 10 gallon tank would be fine for a while longer though.

    Thanks for the advice. The heat lamp, as everyone says it will, really does suck out all the humidity and it gets a little too hot. I think adding her to the rack will be easier for me and better for her so Ima switch her after her next meal tomorrow.Or maybe 48 hours after she eats.
