I am SUCH a proud mummy! Ive just moved Blaze up to her big viv! Ive packed it out hugely, cleaned it about 400 times, let it air out, got all the temps up+running with the digital thermometer+the stat probe held firmly onto the heat mat+i thought she was ready!
Here are a few pics ive taken...opinions on it appreciated!

The viv (complete with cardboard jamming the door shut!)


Warm end (plant, croc skull, 2 hides+cork bark):


Middle (huge piece of cork bark and big plant):


Cold end (half covered by cork bark, coconut hide, water bowl+plant):


Temps at the warm end are ranging (read from a digital thermometer) from a low of 28.1 and a high of 30.1, regulated with a brand new thermostat of course!!!
She's been in it about 10 minutes+has explored every inch of it AND i found her wrapped around one of the plants, hanging upside down!!

thanks figs! She's just climbed from one end of the viv to the other, using the ivy that is hanging from the ceiling on hooks (which i put there for decoration, not thinking she'd climb much) then went down+up the ladder, so she seems quite interested in it so far!!

thanks guys! She's all curled up in the cocnut hide at the mo, but hoping she'll have another explore this evening. Im going to leave handling her for 7 days, to give her a settling in period - is this a good idea?
