Thanks. :] Quick update. They're eating. Finally. After months of not really having a heater. I know. Baddddd. But they're loving the new setup. And they bump into the bridge every once in a while, and Sophie likes to sleep in the arches, but she's kinda sideways. Lol But I have a question about the basking lamp and UV lamp and how often they should be on. Because I normally just leave them on 24/7 because they don't exactly eat when I feed them. They usually wait a little while, and I'm not normally around when they do. And every time I go into my room, they're on the basking dock, so I assume having the light off wouldn't be too great for them. haha

I don't have enough hose to put them on opposite sides right now, but that makes sense. Thanks. :]
And I can definitely do that. :]

I could, but the power strip is there, and I don't want that kinda fire hazard. :/ lol you know.
And if I recall correctly, Petsmart for $160?
