Thank you both for your responses. I do plan to quarantine in the enclosure I currently have for my ball. Aaron, I checked out the thread that you posted on AP cages and had a question about the thermostat probe. I noticed on the pics that there is a cut out for the probe on one side of the enclosure, but if I'm going to divide it in half is there a cutout slot for the probe in the middle? I couldn't tell from the pictures. If not, is it something I can tell AP to put in? Thanks for your help.
