Curious on how u guys got your setup.. My hot side is about 86 with a cool side of about 77 and i use aspen bedding she loves to burrow.

Ps shes only a baby, ive had her for about a week but she ate for me.

My set up for my dumeril is a 20 gallon long aquarium with a locked screen top. It has a hot side about 90F, low side is high 70's. Room is at about 70F all the time. She has aspen bedding, water bowl, a log, and some other driftwood to play with. I took her hides out because she just burrowed anyway. I don't worry about humidity, but I mist her when she sheds. Never had a problem.

My Dumerils are kept in sliding screen top cages. the uth's are kept from the mid to high 80's w/ the cool end in the mid 70's. It suprised me how much time they actually spend on the cool side. They seem to be big on the nightly soaks, so they all have water dishes large enough to get into. I use newspaper and cardboard hide boxes for all of them. When they are younger/smaller they seem to enjoy some branches. my little girl who was born in 8/03 is in a 20L and my older ones are in 60's.

I've got a 4 foot melamime enclosure with sliding glass doors. I use aspen bedding. There are cork bark hides on both ends and also a clay pot hide (because it absorbs water well) at the warm end. A branch and a rock help with sheds. Temps are low to mid-80s at the warm end and mid to high 70s at the cool end. Radiant heat is provided by lights on a day/night cycle.
