Justcage,

It started out w/just a heatlamp light and UTH (a piece about 6" or 8" square) on the left side of the tank...the prev. owner said that was enough, but when < I > did it, the tank wouldn't stay hot enough. I've added a heating cable UTH w/the hot, non-plug end to the right of the tank under the tupperware water bowl. The lady I bought Baby from didn't have ANY temp/hygrometer or any kinds of gauges on/in the tank at all.

I figure the tank's a 40g or 40g tall...I don't have the dimensions with me here at work right now....

Screen lid. Tried the glad seal wrap but that didn't help the heat or the humidity, so now I have two 150w ceramics and a blue "night" heat lamp (75w?) on it. For a while I had them figured out which was on/off/on combo to be the right temps for what I mentioned in my earlier post, but w/my roommate ****ing with the AC and fan in the room all the time, it's REALLY screwing everything up. I have a humidifier running all the time, but it hasn't worked well. I'm looking to get some GLASS cut for the lid, and then I'll put the lamps on top of IT so I can get the heat, but cut down on the moisture loss.

I just bought some s. moss today, and will get a bowl of that rinsed and moistened to help boost the humidity.

I'm more into her behavior right now. It appears, and from what all I've read here, the temp drop at night is getting her into an ovulation cycle & I was wondering if the pissy mood is a precursor to her ovulating (she's into an ovulation shed?) and had I had a male, would she be breeding now?

Thanks!
