Thanks. Only set everything up last night. Going to set up thermostat tonight. So will check temps tomorrow. It's a lot to get my head round.

I have bought a log hide today.

I have put down orchid bark and topsoil. Is there any other substrate I could put in to make another section?

Getting him on Sunday, can't wait!!

Substrate is fine, they love both soil and bark. Try to learn to spot seasonal weeds, if you can find them around where you live, they are packed with vitamins in spring. Today I was looking in the park and find some young jucy thistles and dead nettles on the curbside on our way home. Washed at home and she had nice healthy meal tonight.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to start looking at pics of the weeds so I can recognise them when I am out with the dog.
