Everyone's tank setup.

Looks good John...there is no tape on the top of the lid that she can come in contact with though right?

Nope none at all I made sure that all side if the tape were firmly pressed onto the lid so there were no sticky sides out. I understand the risk of tape but until I buy a better container I will have to try my best to keep it secure.

[EasternGirl]

Just making sure...looks good.

No matter how well you think the tape is concealed, she can still find a way under it. It's best to use absolutely no tape at all.

Okay...Travis...don't get worried. Lets take this one step at a time. First of all, Glyph sounds like he is at a good healthy weight to me. Seeley is probably longer than Glyph and he is only 38 grams...very thin...not a hearty eater at all. Can you post a pic of the vent area? We can probably tell you if Glyph is male or female. I don't think you are severly underfeeding him or anything like that. He is not going to starve on a pinky a week. He just may be able to eat a little bit more. Post a good up close pic of him so I can see him...his whole body. I have a crappy memory too. Get a cheap calendar and write down when you feed him...that is what I do. Then offer him another pinky or the equivalent of that in worms or fish in 4 or 5 days...that should be sufficient. Cee Cee eats 2-3 pinkies every 4-5 days...but she is 133 grams...almost twice the size of Glyph...so I think you will be fine feeding him one pinky's worth of food every 5 days.

I'll take some pics, his eyes are turning blue this morning so I'm not going to handle him for a few days at least...but yeah, I've been feeding him a worm pretty much once a week since I started feeding him pinkies, at least once a week in the last month, beyond that my memory escapes me. Do you think that's enough? What if I feed him two worms a week + a pinky? Not at the same time but I feed him on Sunday, I was thinking about a worm on Tuesday and Thursday.

I didn't think the screen caps from my video camera would come out very well, but they did so I'll use that after he sheds.

[EasternGirl]

Yeah...a couple of worms and a pinky a week should be good, Travis...I would think. Try using the calendar to write down feedings like I do.

Chantel...I think the tape John used is on the outside of the lid...that's what it looks like in the picture.

[kibakiba]

If she pushed the tissue up, she could get stuck on the tape.

[EasternGirl]

Oh...yeah...you're right. I see how it's on there now...any ideas for how he could do what he is trying to do without using tape on there like that? I guess there is a hole in the lid?

[ConcinusMan]

I can't stress how important it is to keep any and all kinds of tape away from your tanks. Don't even use it on the outside. Period. It's a death trap disaster waiting to happen.

I've already posted these lots of times, but what the heck...

Nice Richard...what wattage bulbs do you use for heat? I have been using 60 watt in Cee Cee's tank but I was thinking about putting 75 watt in while she is sick...I also have a heat pad on. What do you think?
