Well just wanted to share - Sookie has now gone into her new 24' viv - we fed her on tuesday and have left her alone so last night we put her old box inside the viv and decided tonight as it was all ready would open up the top and see what happens - well she was off like a shot - and hasnt stopped exploring!

Having seen her stretched out across the front of the viv she must be a cm off 2 foot already and her old box was 1/4 of the size of the new viv so am glad we have moved her up - will post piccies when i can - but rest assured she has lots of cover and hides in both ends - which is prob why she feels secure enough to ahve a good explore - well i hope so anyway - but who knows lol!

That is great news Karen, knew it wouldnt be long before Sookie was in to her new home....and it sounds like you have done a good job with it as she is happily exploring it.

Are you planning on giving her a few days 'settling in' period? Dont think you need to do quite the full week but maybe leave her until her next feed....then feed her, leave her the 48 hrs and then start handling again. I know it seems frustrating and I am sure that some of the stuff in the viv is from her old box so has her smell on it....but it is still a new home and she will need a bit of time to settle in and feel safe in it.

Cant wait to see pics of it.
