great name. And to hear pine needles in last enclosure is sad
Thankfully in a better place now. Looks like she is a thirsty girls too, she doesn't want to leave that water dish does she?
She came in a small transport enclosure, so I just popped that in her new enclosure & then covered the enclosure so she could leave it & start settle in without any distactions around her & in her own time. When I looked under the cover after about an hour, she was over the water bowl, so I have topped the water up, added some extra moisture to the substrate & an extra water bowl & covered her again. Currently & over 2 hours after these images were taken, she is still there.
I'll give the lady some time to settle in & gently get the humidity up, as her last enclosure was totally dry & I want to get her use to the right enviroment again gently. With not too many changes in one day. A 1.5 hour car ride & a different enclosure is probably sufficient for her today. lol.

they don't mind car rides usually. I had a 6 hour journey home from a show last year. and they were all fine. It was even January and icy. How I stayed awake with the car so warm I do not know!!!
