Hey, it's Opal's mom Natalie,
I have a quick question about where to put Opal's Tank in my room. Now that she's living with
me full time
I have temporarily let her sit on the window sill during the day at nite she's on my bed with blankets & heat!
NOW b4 anyone gives me grief please hear me out.
I need to figure out what's best for her. My concerns are several.
1st is... Having the tank in front of the window, (IMO only) are
PROS- She's used to that spot & likes it? I think?
CONS- Warmth! although we live at the coast in CA. temps are mild be can drop to 39°F a few weeks/yr.
Also I did have a large tall tomatoes plant in front of the window w/a lg. plastic cover on it. It's
no longer there. So she sees the sky!! I had to put some opaque vinyl on my window to help her
from seeing the seagulls & crows flying around!
2nd... Against the wall-
PROS- Heat, it would be better for controlling/regulating the temps.
It would alleviate the big open sky of birds, plus she'd still be able to see out the window
from her tank, without getting stressed if a bird is going to get her.
CONS- Moving the tank to a different. spot. I know they get moved at times I just don't know about
how much stress it does cause.
I know Im a smart person & should realize what the best spot is for her ; however I tend to way overthink things & I really just need a gentle kind nudge in the right direction
Which is why Im asking you what your thoughts are on this.
Thank you for any input you have!!
