[QUOTE="Lady Lilith, post: 35548, member: 3365"] Hi Rick and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I KNEW there had to be something amiss in most of the advice I was being given. It just didn't fit with my T's behavior. I watched closely during the summer months when it got to around 90 in New York, and their eating habits went up, their molting progressed rapidly, and I made sure to mist at least once or twice a week as well as keeping the water dishes full. I have a spare ceramic heater which I will think of replacing the IR bulb with, the IR is just easier for me because if I see the "light" I can see where the heat is being directed. Thank you again. I'm certain most folks on some other board sites think I'm a bit fanatical, but if I am I am so because of all the varying information, and some found in the book by Stan Schultz is just way off. For example: He states when referring to the GBB that they are almost exclusively terrestrial. Bull poop! My GBB Jewlz NEVER hardly EVER comes down from the web she has at the top of the cage. In all of her enclosure's as she's grown from 3/4" to her now 3.5" or so DLS she has preferred to remain at the top of her enclosure, so much so that I've now housed her in an arboreal enclosure. At any rate, I thank you for your input. And good luck this winter season in Missouri. I hear the weather is going to be brutal! Have a happy holiday season, Kelly, Pickles, Jewlz, Dio, and Lita :) [/QUOTE]
