    Re: Tank requirment questions

    Keep in mind, you can always buy a tub right now.. and keep the tank for later when he has put on some size.. When I first got my little guy I had him in one of those shoebox size tubs and I have just recently upgraded him. I recently went to the post office and grabbed a couple of their small mailers for hides, Damian seems to enjoy them.. Also if you insulate three sides (if you have not done so yet) with foam board or something similar it will help to trap the heat and provide more security for him.

    Trying to dry out most of substrate to see if thst helps more since the bottom of most ofnit is still a little damp especially on cool side and it being a little damp will defenitely lower temps

    Re: Tank requirment questions

    If you were to black out the hides, maybe some non toxic glue? (Ive heard of people using hot glue in their enclosures) Honestly tho, I think it would be easier to find empty boxes laying around that would work better.. Sometimes Ill check the pantry for stuff.. Or you could swing by the store, buy a couple boxes of pasta.. cook them (or put them in a ziplock bag) and use them.. or you can snatch a box from work.. I took a couple that had pens in them and just put a rubber band on the pens.. Honestly any smaller box will do.

    I use a lot of plant aucers for hides for youngsters - just cut a hole from the rim to the base to allow access - dark, low, tight. Exactly what a bp baby wants.

    similar to this - just get the deper ones for bigger babies.
