Hi Everyone,

Just an update, Lucy is doing great! She's now reclaimed the very top corner of her tank. Hoorray!

I took much of the advice given. The thermometer was in fact defective, so I turned off all extra heat sources. I removed her ornamental cork bark backing (it was hard to clean) and placed on the outside of the tank a dark black towel to shade the back panel. She loves it

She's eating really well, gaining weight and looking really healthy. My hubby is now a fan, and we love to feed her and watch her hunt her cricket prey.

Thanks for the help, I've begun looking up vivarium set ups. Any links you'd liek to recommend would be appreciated.

Renee
