    Thumbs up Hide Happiness and Thankyou!

    Okay so early in the evening I re-did Tanveers tank due to some member rec's. I downsized the water bowl so I could remove the half log and fit two snug plastic hides on each side of his tank instead! I also added some more plants.

    I thought he would be exploring all night since everything had changed in his tank. However, I am happy to report that he immediately checked out BOTH hides, cruised for maybe 10 minutes and ever since has happily snugged into his cool side hide

    Funny Moment of the evening: I thoroughly enjoyed when at one point he was very content laying with his head in the cool side hide and his backend in the warm side hide at the same time LOL.

    Anywho, you all rock!!!! Thank you sooooo much for the help you have all given

    I can already tell that he is much more content and feels nice and secure. Now hopefully he will resume eating for me in a couple days!

    Re: Hide Happiness and Thankyou!

    So I went to upload some pictures I took for you this afternoon and realized I never had the memory card in the camera:censOr:

    It's too late now and he probably wouldn't appreciate the flash LOL. So I will attempt it again for ya tomorrow.

    The hides aren't tupperware really. It's hard to explain. They are plastic though and darker the tupperware. The pics will help LOL.

    Okay here are two pictures for ya!
    The first one is him peeking out of his hide. The second one is of the tank setup. So atleast you can see how big/snug the hides are.

    Re: Hide Happiness and Thankyou!

    However, I would suggest covering your screen with a foil/duct tape combo if you're looking to hold some humidity/heat in. I feel it works better and you don't have to keep taking the towel off.
    how to do it

    Re: Hide Happiness and Thankyou!

    Glad you guys enjoyed the pics and thanks for the tips about the tape! I live in AZ and the heat is definately not a problem LOL. Actually it was too hot in the beginning till I made some adjustments. However, the humidity is an issue in AZ and I have found that soaking a fresh new hand towel every evening has been the only way to keep the humidity in. I will definately try the foil or tape though! Thanks again!
