Yeah....sounds to me like Bob is looking for Jane. :wink: I believe males can reach sexual maturity as early as one year, and certainly by two. I wouldn't worry too much about the temps...they know what they need. They don't have to feel warm to our touch.

When I set up the eco-earth, I got as much of the water pressed out of it as I could (this is the downside to this stuff...prepping it is a pain in the tushie!) and then put most of it in a bucket. The rest went in Caesar's cage...and just dried out over time. The stuff in the bucket dried, too. I've been using it to replace what I take out when spot-cleaning. It's about time to replace all of it though, so I'll soon be soaking a new brick and trying to get all the water out. I'll probably spread it out on cookie sheets and set it in the sun.
