I'm sorry I left that detail out lol

They are kept in a large but still small critter tote with a small UTH on one side. Paper towel used for bedding and the water dish on the non heated side. Hide spot is on heated side. I cover the totes every side with a dark towel so it is dark inside the cage. The top is ventilated so I covered it as well leaving little room for ventilation.

When I feed I have also tried overnight only to find a disgusting odor every morning! I haven't handled them as of yet and will wait until they are about 20 inches or gain some size. I wonder if the UTH that is built for 1-5 gallons is too hot since they seem to be on the cool side most of the time. I am trying to combat this by creating a thicker layer of cover or newspaper on the bottom but it hasn't worked as they are still on the cool side more often.
