Diamond Question??!

McDowelliCheynei Jun 15, 2005 11:58 PM

I normally keep my juvenile carpets in critter-keeper containers (approx 1 foot long by 9" wide 9" tall), and at a constant temp ranging between 80 and 85F (depending on time of day, etc)

But i have just acquired my first Diamond, and, i understand that they prefer cooler lowers and hotter highers. So, in such a small box where no real gradient can be achieved, what should i keep her at?

All advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Sorry for not being more specific... the diamond is only 12" long. I wouldn't wanna go any bigger.
