New tank for the little one.

Well, I broke down and did it. came across a steal of a tank. a 20 gallon long for $7. it was modded by the original owner for a turtle tank, but will serve fine for what sammi needs. I also cut some slate tiles and used the left overs to make a type of dry hide on the warm side. BTW to anyone who is looking at slate tile for substrate, find a place that will cu tit for you. the home depot here no longer cuts tile and I was forced to do it with a hacksaw and chip the edges a little with a hammer and chisel. the temps are taking quite a while to get up to were they need to be, but are surely getting there.

Also, she has begun to shed for the first time since being home. im so proud.

Man that's a nice setup and what a steal at 7 bucks for a 20 long! I got my 40 breeder used also for 30 bucks. Lowes cut the slate tile for mine and I ended up putting sand under them so the temps would stay in the 90's after it got over 100 with just repticarpet and tile. A thermostat would be even better though.

yeah. the temps are way different with this tank. im gonna need a new UTH to cope. im having to run both the UTH and my heat lamp on my thermostat just to keep it 88-92 degrees on the tiles in the warm hide. then again I may be measuring the wrong place...
