I'll let you guys know in a week or so, after I know all my levels. I do have an UTH on the middle section, under the rock cave. That is definitely her favorite spot, and where she always sleeps. I can cut out a longer shelf for the middle part, and add more cover for her.

Again, I really do not want to have to get rid of this enclosure.


THAT BEING SAID: The animal's health is what counts. I just want to be perfectly clear on this one - I care more about the animals health and wellbeing than the look of the enclosure. If I can get her healthy in this enclosure, that would be ideal. If I have to set up a new enclosure, with plastic instead of glass + wood, I will be angry at you guys and pout and piss & moan, but I will do it.
I agree that this enclosure does look really nice...BUT...the real question is will you bbe able to keep the correct husbandry needs. Slim brought up a good point I forgot, that there needs to be a temperature gradient. 88-92 on the hot side and 77-85 on the cool side. If you can't do this in this enclosure then you would be better off going with a large aquarium if you want to show it off. I've seen some really great ones on youtube that look really great. Get your thermometer/hygrometer and try keeping humidity up to 50% for a week and see if you can make it work.
