thanks for all the great info! As for the name, if it lets me keep it I think I'll name it Kismet, which I came up with by following your trail of Lucky-Fate-Karma...Originally Posted by Vypyrz
Congrats on the find. I won't be able to see the pic until I get home so I can't tell what size it is. Here is a link to one of the threads on here showing some ideas for hides.

You can also use the "Search" function at the top of the page to search for threads on hides. There are many suggestions on things to use, and many of them are inexpensive. Everything from flower pot bases to Cool Whip bowls. As for water bowls, there are also quite a few ideas around on different things to use. Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, and the Dollar stores will be your friend when it comes to in-expensive ideas. There are even water bowls that have an opening so animals can hide underneath it.
As for possible names, Lucky, Fate, or Karma...
to the forum...
I tried to touch him/her and it responded by kind of squirming... after two or three strokes it sounded like it "clicked" at me or something, I don't know... but it definitely seemed agitated so I left it alone after that! I moved the make-shift "hide" so it is covering it, and I put a black notebook on the back side of the glass where the hide is so hopefully it will start to relax. I also used that opportunity to put a small bowl of water in (hopefully not too big).
I still haven't figured out a lighting situation, but I'm going to try and find a small old-school desk lamp on craigslist (they usually burn pretty hot) so I can generate some warmth in there for the big guy.
Hopefully he can use the dark alone time he'll get here overnight to relax and take a drink!
That dirt you see is on the glass, not the bowl of water.
