Thanks for you reply! I would be ok with getting a taller tank but if I don't have to, I'll save the money.

I do have a grow light for the plants that I set to come on at 8am and turn off at 8pm for the plants.

The moss and dried leaves idea is great! I set up two water bowls in there figuring they both might want their own and they are filled with the soil every morning. That would help a lot. I'm definitely going to get some moss and leaves now.

I am going to buy an infrared heat lamp today to raise the temp. Do you have any recomendation for the how many watts I would need if my temps are currently 72 during the day and 68 at night? Also, do you think I should get 2 differnt sizes - one with a higher wattage for the day? Or should I just get the one and use it during the day and then turn off either the heat pad of the light at night?
