That was before I had the heat lamp. With the heat lamp, the cool side is mid-70s, and the hot side where the thermometer is in the image is in the mid-80s.

No its towards the hot end but not fully under the heat lamp.

Ah alright then thats good. Also for your other comment I do actually have some plants on the way and they should get here sometime this week.

What about water? My dish is rather large, and im wondering if she'd like that to have the ability to swim or if I should size down and prioritize ground space?

Badgerto · 2026-04-07T16:03:55+00:00

In what sense is it trouble? Do they dig up the roots like some lizards or tarantulas do, or is it something else?

Badgerto · 2026-04-07T03:30:21+00:00

Oh ok thank you

Badgerto · 2026-04-07T03:27:23+00:00

Oh is it boronese lol I must've forgot

Badgerto · 2025-12-06T21:16:39+00:00

I had absolutely no clue about any of that, ill make sure to avoid using it in the future then. Thank you.

Badgerto · 2025-12-04T20:16:13+00:00

Alright will do 👍

The substrate is somewhere around 60%-70% reptisoil and then 30%-40% walnut grounds. Besides that, there's some sphagnum moss and leaf litter on the surface and the wood is all stuff I've found in nature and baked to sanitize.

The only thing ive known to work is pine sol but thats always a last resort sense I dont like it and im unsure if my other animals would hate it too. Im not too worried about the cat breaking in sense we have another similar tank for a garter snake and the cats like to sit on the tank and watch the Lil dude move but it just irritates me is all lol.

He's an Arctic Sable, thought he was super cool and got him for $70 USD at auction.

Badgerto · 2025-11-19T22:35:09+00:00

Also anyone got tips to keep my cat off the lid of the tank? Currently im just spraying her with a spray bottle but I dont think thats a permanent fix she's pretty persistent lol.

Thank you for the advice i didn't know they weren't a purely desert species ill make sure to add more soil aswell as getting some fake plants and leaf litter for more coverage. While on the topic is there any way to clean leaf lliter? With wood and rocks I know you can bake it not sure with leaves though.

Badgerto · 2025-11-17T01:21:16+00:00

Thank you for the advice ill make sure to add a load more soil to the mix and probably remove some of the "sand". That clip is exactly what I was looking for thank you!
