: I bought my ig when she was 3 feet and very tame. She was in a 3 by 3 by4 cage. Way to small. I built a new cage for her 8 by 6 by 6. It has a ramp going to one level then another ramp going to another level on the other side of the cage which is eight feet accross. She seems lost in it. The temp drops rather low at night. Since it is in my basement. She has 2 lights during the day and 2 lights at night plus a heating pad and one of those large heaters outside the cage. This was her first night in the cage and shes been sleeping where there is no heat. Why? i have the heat soure but she goes to the cold.

What is the temp on your cold end. It should be at the lowest 70 degress.I've heard they can go lower, but I don't want to take the chance.Th nite lites are going to disturb the sleep so we use ceramic hearters at night.It seems as tho they torment you and try to stay on the coldest spot so keep the ambient temps no lower then 70.sounds like a nice home. Good luck
