[QUOTE="Charlotte1, post: 193015, member: 34675"] Thank you so much for the input. I know you've helped me before and said the same thing about the humidity. I'm so glad you mentioned that you have top ventilation! That's encouraging. We had her in a plastic container that was much smaller for a while and drilled side holes for ventilation and since we're so inexperienced, it's hard to know which factors are most important for establishing an ideal environment. She was crawling out of the container much too easily for my comfort (I have several younger kids) (only when the lid was off of course, for feeding and such) so we moved her into the 40 gallon tank sooner than we had planned and I was hoping, with a deeper substrate and clay balls underneath, that it wouldn't dry out too easily. I'm trying to balance my kid's experience of making decisions for his animal, doing research on his own, and my desire for her to be healthy and thrive. I hate the suffering of animals! I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures on here so I can get further input. I really appreciate this resource for information! The internet is FULL of contradictory info and over zealous care takers that insist on automatic sprayers and heat lamps/mats, gauges and all that etc. I know better now....Thanks for your time.
