Thanks so much for the reply.

We do use a temperature gun to guage the temperature - hubby's a mechanic and had one already. We are at 120 on the hot side but needed two heat lamps to get to that. There is a mesh screen on the top of the vivarium but the holes in the screen are quite large so I hope that's OK?

Where we live, we only have three grocery stores and I've only been able to find endive or escarole but not both and not on a regular basis. We'll have to feed only one type of those greens and use spring mix when the better greens aren't available as that's the best we can do out here. I am going to order uromastyx dust, miner-Al supplement, and mazuri tortoise pellets as I can't buy them here. Also going to get a scale so we can monitor her weight.

Our daughter only takes her Mali out once per day for about 15 minutes and she is not stressed by us. She doesn't hide when we go near or into her cage and she'll eat her food right out of our hands.

Only two vets who treat reptiles near where we live they're booked until January 3rd so I have no choice but to wait until then. It's an hour long drive there and an hour back though, so I'm wondering how best to transport her?
