i just realized that this is in the wrong forum, sorry.

seperate feeding tub to keep her from eating the aspen bedding. also to keep her from associating a hand in her cage as food? if the assocation thing isn't a problem, i will insert cardboard under her food item instead.

$100 for a thermostat? i've seen cheaper ones at the petstore.

i'm going to buy a bigger uth tomorrow. i like the idea of not having to use an overhead heat lamp but i might use a 75w basking lamp i have laying around w/ the bigger uth.

i was confused about the hidebox and water bowl. does she not want to totally lay in the water? those will both be replaced tomorrow also.
