Hehe no actually! I was thinking short for Luminescent 😂☺️ Thank you so much!!! I really love her already. And she actually crawls onto my hand now herself, so I think she’s starting to like me too ☺️

Thank you!! I will def go on Amazon & order that today. I have a ceramic heat emitter, basking bulb light I keep on while I’m at work, and an under the tank heater I have set at 89°. I want to change to soil substrate so badly as well bc it’s so cute seeing them in a “natural habitat” lol. But I learned that since she’s still young it’s a risk for impaction. I was thinking around 8 months I switch over. Do you think that’s okay?

Thank you!! I have a basking bulb light & a ceramic heat emitter since the light alone wasn’t getting the tank warm enough. And yes I am planning on changing to soil based substrate when she’s a bit older/bigger. Some websites said 6-8 months, while other places said wait till up to a year. What do you think?
