If the slate is a thick one it'll be fine under the lamp (the thin ones get too hot)

If Taylor is a Horsfield then yep I'd definately increase the height of the sides and also have the substrate as deep as you can allow as he/she will like to dig and bury and burrow - my indoor substrate for Mr Harries is about 10" deep.

Figners crossed the time passes nice and quickly

yes jazzy has told daddy he has to make taylors house taller as taylor may get out and she may get lost in her teddys or if she was cleaver which she will be get out her room and fall down the stairs
jon has promised to sort it out for her as soom as he finds the time
i will have keep reminding him about this although he shouldnt forget as its still on the kitchen table and jazzy is telling him all the time
