Haha!! Yeah the glass exo terra I have. I see the best thing to use is a polystyrene box, where can I get one of them? Do you think a Pet Shop would sell me one?

I have a heat mat, probe thermometer and a thermostat . Would really only need some vermiculite and I'd be set!

Where did you store yours?

Mine was in the office which is the front room of the house, don't think it would really matter as long as the room temp doesn't fluctuate wildly like say a conservatory.

I got given a polybox but you can get them on-line - trouble is you could be waiting for ages for one

I have a spare which i'd really like to hang onto but if you're desperate and can't get one give me a PM

Well I'd say for that price it's worth a go... I paid over a tenner just for a poly box! Quick trip to the seaside for you tomorrow Jackie? lol
