Well, still waiting. Haven't heard back from the breeder yet in regards to him shedding (I imagine it has to be within the next couple days at this point, but if I don't hear back by late Monday I'll shoot a text just in case).
In the meantime I admittedly am thinking about some kind of lighting in the enclosure since it seems a little silly that I put so much work into making the setup look nice, only to be barely able to see anything even during the day since it's so dim down here in the basement. But between the CHE and the aluminum panels there's not really anywhere on the lid surface to put a light fixture, so any suggestions? I've thought about LED strips but I'm not sure where I'd affix those since I obviously don't want to use anything adhesive-based, but I can't simply screw them into the enclosure either since it's glass. Though I suppose I could cut a slight sliver from the panels (they're just cardboard after all) to make room for a strip. With that in mind, do LEDs need to shut off at night like a regular ambient light would? I can get a timer so it's like a day/night cycle if that's the case.
On an unrelated note temperatures will be dropping a few degrees over this week. Still warm (70's) but considering that he will be coming from Miami where it's still in the 90's that means he might not come with a heat pack and could get a little chilled, and I heard from Snake Discovery that if they come in cold, you do not want to introduce them to their enclosure too soon after arrival if they're chilly as the drastic change in temperature could put them in shock and possibly death. The solution is to leave them at room temperature until they warm up, but how long does that typically take? And where should I put him to do so?
