Sahira got a room upgrade!

Finally got her switched to coco fiber. I ideally wanted her on a fiber/husk mix but this will do for now. I mixed quite a bit of water in. Too much at first haha. When I squeezed it a few drops of water would drip out, which I figured meant it was too damp. So I dumped about half the wet stuff into the bottom, and then added some dry on top of that and mixed it up really well and that seems to have done the job. The substrate is moistish without being damp.

I added a bit more clutter in the form of some natural Brazilian quartz points and a moss agate dragon skull (to inspire her of course). She's got a climbing branch on the cool side along with some live plants. Her cool side hide has some damp sphagnum in it in case she feels the need for it. She also has a nice basking rock (natural slate, not electric) and some fake plants on the warm side and throughout.

I also ditched the UTH entirely, and instead swapped the 50w Che I was using for a 100w. I think that this will be better, but only time will tell. I'll be keeping a close eye on it. She is in a 20g, so without the UTH I don't think 100w will be overkill. She's currently investigating my glasses while we wait for the temps and humidity to settle in there.

I'll take pictures of the whole thing this weekend when it is lighter. That room stays pretty dim even when the sun's fully out. At night you might at well be trying to take pictures in a crypt
