Haha, I did. She was kind of :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:y and snappy about everything I inquired so I didn't take the "cruel" comment too seriously.
I'll probably see how my BP likes the tank with just the hides and water bowl, let her settle in and digest a meal before adding anything else. If she seems particularly fond of climbing I might put something in.
