    Re: New viv on it's way, advice please?

    We don't have sliding doors, but I'm sure others on here have said that they do various things, couple that spring to mind:
    - folded newspaper wedged in the gap.
    - strip of felt (I'm guessing it was something like the soft side of velcro) glued to one of the glass panels so that it blocks the gap.

    News paper seems a bit messy and annoying also a permanent solution.
    A strip of the soft side of velcro seems like a genius idea! I will have to try this

    So you say 50% humidity? My room is slightly damp but I doubt enough to maintain 50%!
    Could I not just have one hide on the cold side with some dampened sphagnum moss in it making sure this hide has a bottom to it as not to dampen the substrate?

    I have ordered a combined thermometer and hygrometer so will have to see what my room is like

    Also lighting (non heat lighting) I have a heat lamp but want something more for show and more consistent threw the enclosure, what type of lighting would you suggest?

    I'd obviously set the enclosure out with a few hides that will be completely dark so she can hide away from the light if she likes although she seems to really enjoy the light, she often comes out when I put the lamp on and rests her head on top of the hide at that side of the tank where the lamp is
