    Ok, I took a few more photos... to get the last ones I had to gentle touch it with a paint brush and on the third nudge it abruptly turned and threw a threat pose, lively little fellas, lol... let me know if I need a different angle or something, I'm new to this and actually had to look...

    I watched the vid embedded in Ungoliant's post and I believe my T may be pre-molt, it's flicked most of its hair's off and it's abdomen has darkened considerably over the last few days...

    Before I get to invested in modifications on the enclosure, can anyone see any potential pitfalls of using the same aquarium in the posted pics but turned on its side, I can make it into a front door accessible terrarium, using two pieces of lexan or plexi? It would lower the overall height...

    I haven't changed anything in her enclosure, it is as it came and I'm open to any and all changes that would benefit the T... and yes I believe it's a 10gallon fish aquarium with a 15w sun glow bulb, I think the original owner just bought what the pet store suggested... the critter keeper in the...
