That was her first night home. I have changed her bedding and giving her a hider. Just for a few day I'm use a box I cut down low with a small hole but she can get in. As for heat I just got done reading up on UTH. My tank sit on a stand I think you can see it in one of the pics. There is about 3 inch space between the tank and stand. To help heat excape do you think it would be safe to raise the tank a little for air flow? One side of the tank is covered do to the heat lamp sitting to close to the glass. So I cover the whole side with Duck Tape inside and outside so she can't rub it and get cut. I have a Co. making me a new side for it. But back to the three sides being covered. Would I be safe in using something with a landscape or would that be to busy and stay with a solid?
