I think she may be molting soon, so I will at least have to wait until she recovers. I have to ask, why is the sand a no no? I will change it out, either way, but in the spirit of learning as much as I can, I am curious about why. Is it because she could accidentally injest a piece of it along with her food? What about the sponge? Is it a mold hazard? Her previous owner was an older gentleman, who is not very tech savvy, so I get the feeling his methods were just outdated, and not intentional carelessness. I am still considering adding some type of heat source because our room temps vary from 69 degrees to 74 degrees these winter months. That's a bit lower than the suggested temps.</p></blockquote><p></p>
