Hi! Congrats on your new baby! One suggestion, when you change the substrate, you might want to try a mixture of sand and bed-a-beast. These have worked really well for me. They maintain the heat well. Also, it is easy to see waste that needs to be cleaned out and it can easily be scooped. When I first got one of my baby Russians, I had him on dirt and he never tried to eat it, but I had trouble keeping the temps up. Anyway, post a pic when he gets there!
