Hides
Thanks! She's sweet, I love her 
The left side is the hot side. I have a Zoo Med undertank heater that I put on the side of my tank. She has two hides on that side, one a cave-like hide, and then her favorite hide which is an old broken ceramic mask. I don't know why she favors the mask, it's less enclosed, but that's always her first choice. The left side is the cool side, and there's a broken plant pot on that side that she uses basically only as a toilet . The water bowl is that huge rock thing in the middle. I don't have to do much to add humidity other than mist occasionally, because of the volume of open water that evaporates. She loves the logs so much, you'd think she was arboreal! She's not on them now because she just ate a tasty mouse this afternoon and is in one of her warm side hides digesting I think I need to get a heat lamp, as well, but since I have an aquarium with a glass top, it doesn't circulate much air (I made air holes, but it's not enough to let out much heat). Should I try a ceramic heat bulb? I need to get a thermostat. The ambient temp is around 83 on the warm side, i'm not sure about the cool. She only goes on the cool side to sit on her log, generally when she's hungry. She's a voracious eater!
