    That will help your setup tremendously...

    Also

    Aspen bedding is better for your ball (hmmm...new tongue twister )
    but newspaper is best...I'm only assuming you want a decorative tank setup, so that is why I recommended the aspen...

    you may want to cover the screen

    heres a link to do that...

    Log hides are not optimal for your BP, you can buy the cave hides from the petshop, oooor....

    I think that about does it... The caresheets explain to you UTH, and Acurites, and handling and yadda and yadda and yadda...



    But please do read...it is very essential for upkeeping a ball, and I couldnt have done it without this site...





    I think I'm just gonna copy and paste what I just mentioned above for any newbies passing my way...to the others...did i fail to mention anything else?
    whoops....

    What makes aspen better?

    Right now I do have the screen covered just with foil taped on though, I didnt put tape over the whole piece of foil like in that thread.

    Also for the log hide I piled up the repti bark on the glass so you cant see in/or out. I already have a cave hide on the other side but its covered pretty well by the fake plant. (she couldnt find it i had to put her half way in it and now she wont come out, before she was just hiding under the leaves)

    The tank came with a hydrometer in it, i want to get one of the acu-rites with therm, humidity, and a temp probe but im not sure where to find one, I havent really looked IN STORE yet.

    Just for the set up, what else do I need, since I know I already have the essentials. (I have a 75watt redlight and a 30-40 zoomed UTH) I want another fake plant for the other side but I dont know what else would make it better.
