Congrats, he's lovely

I was going for one with more yellow in him. Your Zebra blows my little guy away tho. I saw it and it is spectacular.

Congratulations on your new baby! I love lemon pastels!

One thing I'd like to suggest to you - to save you some future heartache - close up that stand on the Accurite and buy some velcro. Velcro the thermometer at ground level to the side of your enclosure (on the inside - the bottom of the thermometer touching the substrate).

If he knocks over the thermometer with the stand down (and he will) and then tries to crawl through that "O" part of the stand, he may very well get stick, and you're not going to be able to get him out without cutting it away.

You'd be amazed the small spaces that they can cram their heads into.
Thanks for the tip. I planned on doing something along those lines, but I didnt think of velcro. Im gonna have to do that.

Tell me about it. I have a small gap on my hood becuase the foam core board holds my lid up a little and he likes to kinda sit up on the little ledge it makes. I saw him completely suspended in the air up there last night until he fell out cuz he couldnt progress forward without unsticking. Its not a gap that he can get out, it is still covered by the lid, but the lid is raised a little so he can sit on the top of the tank a little. Its like a quarter inch.
