@Grif: You mentioned that you elevate your hut on the sides so Gunther can get in it. I found this and not sure if you have seen it but it's HUGE and will for sure allow your Pyxie to get in there without any problems or squeezing himself in there and well...it looks pretty cool too!

The measurements are 12"L x 9"W x 5"H size and the inside is FULLY smoothed out so totally reduces the chance of any injury/cut.


So with that said, where do you guys recommend me to play this hut? On the cold side or warm side? Will placing it under the lamp cause the inside of the hut to overheat? Thanks!
Sorry for the picture heavy post
I've seen this, BUT Günther being as large as he is I needed a hut that he could stretch out in and this is why I bought the Large fake rock. It has a much larger interior and is as wide as it is long. It also has good height so he can sit up if he wants to, but he goes in and digs a hole.

You can place the hut on the cool side since they would seek shelter in something like this to cool off. It is ok to have the water dish on the warm side since the majority of the time the area in which they bathe is exposed to the sun. Plus water is highly resistant to heat so it won't match the ambient air temp. This is also determined by how you heat the tank.
