Enclosure dimensions:
36 inches long
19 inches wide
19 inches high
Heat:
Spot heat lamp for Tropical Reptiles: 100W at the RIGHT side of the enclosure 20 inches off the surface. I put a thermometer probe directly below the spot light and temperature is between 95-100. On 7:30 am - 7:30 pm
100W Infrared lamp for night. Same place as the Spot.
Two UV lights bulbs, produce no heat. Center of enclosure. 20 inches off the surface.
Good hiding log for her to go under in the COLD part of the enclosure. Temp in the cold part is about 65-70F.
I feed her romaine lettuce hearts (When she eats them). Grass mix for rabbits and tortoises (when she eats them). One strawberry in 2 weeks, About 3 cubes of mango in 2 weeks and 1 cube of papaya. Fruits she eats instantly if placed so I have stopped placing fruits at all. I will giver her fruit about 20% of the time.
The thing is, if I move her around and say, place her near the food, she will eat and then walk around and go back to sleep.
If I take her out and leave her loose in the house, she boots around the house at the speed of lightning, exploring, not shy. If I place her back in the enclosure, she will boot around for a while and then settle down and NOT MOVE till I likely move her after about 20 hours.
At the time of making the original post, I moved her (after more than 24 hrs) from the cold part to the warm part of the encl. and she and a large drink of water and has now burrowed herself directly below the night warm lamp which confuses me because if she does what she "needs" to then why is she waiting for me to move her?? This happens about 75% of the time.
