The tub is plenty big, it just lacks a little bit of height



It is 25 inch long, 1.5 foot wide and 8 inches high. I have a gradient in the tub by putting the basking site very close to one side of the tub, and on the cool side it is misted to keep the humidity up and to keep the temps down a bit. Hot side is 110 - 125f (I use a 150W daylight bulb with UVA output, and I dust his insects for the calcium and D3 that he needs) and cool side is 75 - 80



Humidity is still 60 - 70% constant



This is a temporary enclosure. I was going to build him a 6x3x4 at christmas time... but I'm not so sure about that now...



I returned him to the breeder and they are keeping him there for a few days to monitor (no pun intended) him more, if he is having problems they are willing to give me back 50% of the purchase price (or store credit)



Thanks for all the help! So far though, I think i've done everything right besides having the tub be a little too low, if it's a problem I could probably pick up a much higher (and bigger) tub for him before I pick him up again



Thanks again!
