And, I'm betting she wants to dig, which the hide with the moist paper towel won't allow. The most paper towels work fine for a most hide, that's what I'm using for all of my babies, but not as much for a laybox. I don't think having the carpet is it as much the problem, as it is not having a substrate to dig in.
And another thought, I use vinyl flooring for my gecko enclosures I cut it to fit, from home depot. Easy to clean, fits tight, holds heat well. I love the stuff honestly. Just make sure it doesn't have adhesive backing.
okay, i seperated her into my extra 15 gallon with a container of organic soil with reptile carpet looped around it to make a tunnel, it was the quickest thing i could come up with at 10:00 pm -.- its on the warm side, is that okay? i intensified the infrared and the warm side is now reaching 90, which people on the gecko forums said is good, they said my temps were wayy too low. i also have a moist hide with paper towels on the cool side, a bowl of water, and a bowl with 3 superworms and calcium. ill be leaving the light on all night so she can properly bask. i wish i had another 15 gallon because the male does not look well. he is lethargic and finally pooped, but its all runny. i cant leave his light on all night because i only have one and the female is using it, i really dont want her to eggbind because that will be a couple hundred dollar surgery..parasites are curable. ill be making them a vet appointment hopefully tomorrow, and they will prob get me in next week, i hope the male makes it ill be running and getting another light tomorrow for him..and ill be getting heat mats on thursday.
