[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 206907, member: 29323"] Hello & welcome to the hobby & the forum. With heating, if the room is warm enough for you, in a T shirt, or similar. Then it is warm enough for a T. T's burrow to escape warmth, so never heat from below an enclosure. I have around 100 T's & no external heating & only use lighting in enclosures that are planted with live plants. You are far more likely to have hair flicked at you, than ever be bitten. And some hairs are worse than others. Normally, when hair flicked, simply washing your hands & lower arms does the trick, sometimes it takes a couple of washes & sometimes one of those one a day, hayfever, antihistamines. Keep your versicolour fairly dry, with a drinking water container & allow air to circulate freely & your Versicolour will be fine. Damp stagnant air is the issue. For plants I largely use ones designed for fish tanks, Although I do also use some trailing plants designed for Reptiles & even have some rather nice looking hanging plants made for household decoration. I always rinse off, under running tap water, anything I put in my T's enclosure & have never had an issue. [/QUOTE]
