Wake up time

Glorious weather here today.
Gizmo is basking in the sun. I'm very tempted to get molly up.

​February - March
Thinking of waking up

garden

So I've turned her frost heater on and I'm monitoring temperature in her house without lamp to ensure the overnight temperature is above 11c. Then I'll turn on her basking lamp and adjust that so it is getting to 32c ish.

Remote thermometer

kennel at 14c,

fridge 4c,

indoor room temp 24c

   I'm also monitoring temperature under glass with and without lamp.
Only when I'm sure everything is right will I wake her up.

When I'm ready I will turn the fridge off in the evening and leave Molly to warm up gradually overnight.
In the morning she'll have a warm bath as hydration is the most important thing then go into her enclosure where she can access the heat lamp and food when she is ready.

I find that given a choice of places to sit she will choose what she needs.I will keep a close eye on her for 1st week or so to make sure she remembers to find warm places to settle and doesn't settle down in the cold for too long
