not sure how temporary it will be because of my friends financial issues he has no idea how long it will be before he will take her back. but i have no problem with keeping her for as long as needed or just keeping her but if or when he wants her back i will let him have her. anyway my wife and i had been discussing getting a bp as it was when this situation came up and she came with everything she needs. i changed her bedding and cleaned the tank she had lighting and stuff to hide in. so far so good.
