    Re: First time owner, please advise *long post*

    Thank you so so much! Also I’m sorry, I was panicking last night but I did manage to calm down enough to make the decision to clean her tank.
    I am actually outside right now, I need something to keep the thermometer up, I have an AcuRite thermometer but she kept knocking her down, I’ll make sure to buy those cleaners since I only used mild soap and boiling water.
    I don’t think I did a good job measuring her bc I did not want to handle her much and she kept moving but I don’t think she is even 2ft. She weighs 150 grams.

    The hides I have for the big tank and the one that she came with are too big for both her and the current tank so I’m on supply run atm, I accept suggestions
    I have 2 BN link temperature controllers while I save up for a herpstat, I am using that, the acurite and my kitchen thermometer while the laser gun arrives.
    For heating I had an extra small heat mat if the big one I got was not enough (for the 40gallon tank) so I connected that to the BN link at the side of the tank, I know they are supposed to be underneath but I put it there for now just in case.

    I have coconut substrate and repti bark but I havent used it bc I’m drying it up after soaking it in boiling water, right now she is using the paper bedding, is that OK or should I use paper towels as suggested?

    I do have pictures but I couldn’t find how to attach them without URL, in posting permissions it says I cannot post attachments so I’ll figure it out and come back, otherwise I have no qualms sending through email or any other medium, I just want her to be OK.
