Kaiju looks happy in the new viv.

I have but one request, please remove that crushed walnut substrate. They say it is digest able but, I assure you, it's not. It has sharp edges and, if ingested can perferate her intestinal walls and, can still cause impaction. Plus it is also very dusty which is bad for her respiratory system.

oh this was before i got her a new cage she is on paper for now until i can get carpet for the cage all of the stuff in this cage came with kai and i made sure that i got rid of the stupid sand asap

I use newspaper on my tank as well, I had carpet and I removed it as it held too much bacteria and it was a pain to clean. At this point it's up to you if you want to get carpet but I would recommend the newspaper or even tile over the carpet. That's just my preference.

I hope he starts feeling better!

hay guys Kaiju not do so well again all her lights are good just bought her a new UVB her heat lamps are good temps 90-ish but she still feels cold had her to the vet ( a specialist ) he said she was healthy but i am still worried what can you tell me??? she was eating bugs right up till today but only if she did not have to chase them, she stopped eating greens 2 weeks or so ago have been force feeding her baby food and liquid greens mixed with critical care ( its like a nutrient bar in powder form ) is there anything else i could be doing that i don't know about???

Hello,

Kaiju is looking very good now! The changes you have made should really help her out.
The basking temperature/spot should be in a range of 95-110 for her at her age, with a cooler end of around 78-82 or so. How are you measuring the temperatures?
If she isn't eating her greens like she should be, try putting a few worms in with the greens, or brightly colored pieces of bell pepper, or minced up apple or blueberry to give some color.

The non adhesive shelf liner is a good, you can get it at Bed, bath & beyond or Walmart. Easy to clean and washable. Bugs can't get under it. I got rid of the carpet and put in the shelf liner in a light sand color.
