    Thanks for the input one last ? I just want to give my bal the most comfortable habitat possible. So I have an under tank heater, red and black reptile bulbs both in ceramic and a 70 watt hps. As of now I use 70w hps during day and black at night. It it going to bother her with that bright light on all day. My temps are good on both sides and humidity as well. To simplify what's the best lighting setup

    I dont use any artificial lighting for my balls. They are in a room with windows so they get some natural light. If your room is warm enough to ditch the lights, I would. Those things suck humidity anyway. I keep my room at 78-80 with the help of an oil heater.

    I just saw the update and congrats on getting the strikes. When you heat with the blow dryer after heating the whole mouse/rat warm the head a little extra. This should hopefully get them to hit the head on the strike. Last night I thought my male was going to fly up and out of his tub he hit (well missed) so fast and quickly. The reason why is beacuase I didn't heat enough then I lowered more into his tub and he missed again. When he finally hit he grabbed it by the rear feet. It took a little while but he released then spun around and finally found the head to swallow.

    That worked perfect for me. Thanks for the advice, I felt like a kid at christmas when she took the first one! The speed is amazing, I'm trying to find a close age she is 24 in 160g and looks young to me. Any idea? Also I have a longhorn shed on hot side for hide it absorbs heat and she loves to hide in it and the only problem is I can't get her out of it until she's ready. Is it cool to just change the hide? I was thinking of cutting the closed end so I can get her out?
