Kaorte,, Thank you!

What a great source of information you have been.....thank you for sharing.

His carpet is already gone...I cleaned his tank and put plain white butcher paper in it.

I will move him to a 10 or 20 gal tank tomorrow, and get the appropriate heating elements, along with new thermometers. I only have the stick on kind now.

I don't feed him in his large tank, btw...I put him in a small lidded container. I started feeding him live because when I first got him, I got anxious because he would not eat. Is it too late to try thawed again?

Anyway, I will stop bugging you for now...you have given me plenty of homework!

Thanks again
