Mine went straight onto sand without hassles. I find for hidespots a stack where they have access to contact from above and below is better than the den style thing there. Its also important that they have a hot basking site. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. |

I have been told like 5 times to have the basking spot at 70, but my dad thinks it's too hot...

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Sep-06 Location: Sydney Age/Gender: 20 | | | | Yea you need to get it quite hot 55C+ mines in the 60s though. I just have a 75 watt reflector globe roughly 15cm from the basking site. The light is on all daylight hours with no thermostat. |

Definately build a stack for it and cook it - VERY hot temps...
Ackies are a fantastic reptile, this certainly won't be the last Monitor your purchase!
