nice t, congrats!

still, some remarks on your tank:

wood chips are not a good substrate for ts, if it is pine bark or some other wood containing certain substances it could even seriously harm it. plus, many rosies like to dig and bark chips arn't really good for that.
so just keep to the soil (is it?) beneath. it looks wet, though, and rosies like bone dry substrates. maybe try and bake it to dry it out.
also, you might want to raise the level of the substrate. rosies can be clumsy climbers and a fall from that hight might rupture its abdomen.

good luck with your new t!

Hi there

Thanks for the info, the guy at the shop told me to keep it on bark :mad:

Cool about the rest though I will sort that out tomorrow :)

Oh the substrate is peat.

Cheers

Congrats on the beautiful rosie! I know she'll be much happier without the bark.
