We have officially named our new BD and have her moved into her new enclosure!! Thanks to this wonderful community I am feeling so good and confident after my initial post 2 weeks ago.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Although it is too early to know the gender, we are going with SHIVA! You should have seen the list my Husband, Daughter and I had going. To get the 3 of us to agree was torture. But as soon as SHIVA rolled off our tongues and we researched it, we loved it!
Shiva is a Hindu Deity, the Supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe. The main attribute of Shiva is the third eye on his forehead.
We got this new enclosure on a stand (storage underneath yay!) from letgo.com for $100!! It is a 4x2x2. Has vents, fans and 3 light fixtures installed. We just gave it a good scrubbing, added a 36 in. tube fixture and are going to get new glass doors and a background for it. You can kind of see in the pics that the 2 corners where you slide the doors open - the previous owners pet had really scratched it up. The Buddha statue will be replaced with a statue of Shiva, of course. Once it arrives.
Shiva LOVES her new home and has been actively exploring. We are maintaining all 3 zone temps (Got me an IR temp gun) good and because this is not all glass, it seems to retain heat and have not had to use CHE heat at night. Staying in the high 60's
Got our 1st shipment of Phoenix Worms and Dubia's last week and she is really enjoying those. She has yet to take a bite of salad, but we offer it anyways and know someday she will.
She started her 1st shed (in our care) a few days ago and she enjoys her baths every few days.
She is super friendly, enjoys us holding her and is such a character! We are in LOVE!!
I LOVE this last pic but all the damn scratches in glass totally ruin it. I see her saying, "Oh I love my new tank, Thank you! Look at her lil hands!
Really BIG Thanks again for everyone's advice and learning from previous threads!
