We have got all the bits and have put it together....

Missing are the pebbles we have which are drying after being washed..

I need to know where to put the temp reader?

We had to make do with the slate using a slate pentagram I have, is it necessary to have one immediately or can this wait until Monday?

Anyway, here are the pics:







Please tell me if anything is wrong..

Oh okay.. Will it be okay initially?

The other thing I wondered, is if the heat bulb should be over the soil side?

i keep my bulb about 6inches off my torts and use reflectors with no probs, i would maybe move his house from under the hotspot to the cool end, whats the temp of your hotspot
