I only have a hide on the cool side right now. I am probably going to get more stuff this week or next weekend. The temperatures (I checked with a infrared heat prober) are, 101 to 105 for the basking temperature, on the hot side it is about 85-90, it goes up the closer you get to the hot side. On the cold side it is about 80 to about 74 (lowest). I keep lighting on for the day and it goes s off at 8:00 PM. I may need to make it a little less light. My setup might need work. I am thinking about taking out the substrate and putting in sand because it really smells funny. I have alfalfa pellets. I also noticed some discharge coming out of his nostrils. He actually is active now. I got him on Tuesday, he could be getting use to his home. He hasn't explored the furthest part of it. Send most of his time on the warm side but I saw him one time getting cuzzy between this rock thing.

Just a secondary thing. If my dad is bent on putting water in there, is that bad? He only puts a little in. I told him not to but he refuses. He says all animals need water. I really am getting annoyed. I think he could die because of it. I turned it around, so he doesn't get into it. I am sure I will find it turned around again.
