Message: <blockquote data-quote="Adnama.mew" data-source="post: 42838" data-attributes="member: 3672">I'm actually in Bellingham, noahdamngood, so while Jabberwock is still an hour away, it looks like Winchester is not so far that I wouldn't make the trip. Especially since I'm thinking leaning more and more to the "I cannot wait" side of things <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />So with that in mind, would Jaime's juvenile enclosure (4x4x5) be a good size for a 2.5 in b. smithi? or should I just move right up to the adult size (8x14x8)?Also anyone have any experience with heating pads? I know winter is "over" but living up here it's still quite cold and my house is older and has a bit of a draft. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated, I've been looking at <a href="http://amzn.com/B0002AQCKA" target="_blank">Zoo Med ReptiTherm® Under Tank Heater. Small</a> according to some of the reviews I may need to raise the enclosure a bit over it and possibly get a dimmer to better control the temperature.And thank you all for you responses this is great!</blockquote>
