nickdf9818...

Nice ST you have Bet the big size are 1 Male & 2 Females. Am i right?

I suggest you better change the SETUP. Get 4 feets aquarium tank or 3 feets & 2 feets if you wanna saparate them. Dont forget to get the cover too The cover is very useful to maintain the tempreture & humidity levels
Please put your basking lamp at one side... Heat Wave ( if needed ) at another side. Place the UVB lamp at the centre, so the lights can cover the whole tank. I didnt see any UVB light at your current setup UVB is very important for them !!!
Dont forget to get the Thermometer & Hygrometer. Get the digital one, its more accurate compare to analog.
Last but not lease... I suggest you change your bedding to Recycle Paper Cat Litter as i had mentioned earlier. Its help you to maintain the humidity levels. No need to put those KAYU lah Its just might hurt your ST. They need more space to move around but not to climb up

May i know how much the half glass tank for the current setup? This kind of tank suitable for small Terappins

More and more ppl coming!

Yo Sifu !!! coming so late ??? Whats up?

Go with this guy's suggestion. Being cold blooded, they lack the ability to thermoregulate like us humans and other mammals. Most reptiles appreciate a temperature gradient in their enclosure. So that they have the choice to regulate their body temperature to that which is comfortable and healthy for them. Placing the basking lamp at one corner of the tank is the best way to provide a temperature gradience(hot|warm|cool) regions in a semi-closed environment like yours. About humidity, and UVB, Fat Cat pretty much covered it.

Those tanks look like very nice enclosures to me!! Great effort, neat!

i got 2 lil alligator snappers for about 2 months already
i want to know how you set up their home
i want it to be like their natural home

thankz for ur opinion fatcat sifu...........about the tank only???tis is i custom made from the aquarium shop........rm60

Mind sharing the dimensions?
