Hello . New BP Owner Few ?

[KrasnoPL]

An under tank heater would be much better for heating than a light, the light will dry the cage out too much, as will the screen top. They also need belly heat to digest. Sand is not a good substrate for a BP, newspaper, aspen, or cypress would be much better.

Congrats on your first BP. I can't really help with the sexing much.
I'm sure others will chime in.

thanks ! This weekend i shall pick one up. no light needed if i have a underpad?
that is carpet basically, not sand.? Make a difference?
