And i think in all of Australias states, you cant sell the animal until you have had it for 6 months. What state are you in by the way?

Ok, call the people that gave your sister the license, and they will tell you that you cant sell for 6 months.

About 32-33, hot end, and then around 26 for the cold end. Do you have a license?

Click clacks are good, heat mat or heat cord under 1/4-1/3 of the tank. For a jungle probably a 30-32c hot spot. If you really want a non-snappy jungle your best bet is to find a local breeder and try and pick out a snappy one altho they are normally pretty snappy but can generally be calmed down with a little patience.
