Okay, so Ive decided against making him a new tank. Ill just make his old one better. My Bf put up more vynal to keep the moisture in and Weve set the lights up diffrently. Ive also added a ceramic light at night just over his hide

Ive also made a bin with moist coco husk in it. I figure he can go in there and digg around our chill out in the hut I put there. That might beable to keep the moisture up. (hes only got paper down now because im trying to keep it as sterile as possible.

Ive also decided not to do anything to the tank because we got a closing date on the house so I dont want to stress him out too much before the big move.

I really just wanted to shorten the tank hight wise. If I did that id only have to take foot off the lengh in total. So I wouldent really be making it that much smaller.

Do you think 79 is to hot at night?
He sleeps on the top of his condo under a rock (Hes got the penthouse and loves it)

I temp gunned the top of his rock and it said 79 I dont know what it is on the inside though. I didnt want to wake him up
