Kaorte:
Is there anything else besides towels that I can put in there to clutter it up and make him feel safe? And do you know of a good brand of aspen to use? Does it matter?

And I do have two good thermometers with probes. Expensive little buggers. But they read accurately, I tested them against the chemistry thermometer I have in my work lab.

And Eshu (my little bp) does spend most of the day hiding. But when I put him in just after taking him out or adjusting things he does check everything out before going back to his hidebox.

Spaniard:
Catch fire!? o.0 Oh my. I steered clear of the reptile UTHs because I read that they were impossible to clean or adjust... Are there some that are easier to use than others?
