So far this is what I am thinking about for the baby hognose I will be getting. I am still not happy with where the water is. I plan to make the square hide on the warm side. I may find something other than the coconut hut for the cool side. My thought for the square on the hot side is that I can put some damp moss in if needed to help with shedding. I am not planning to keep it moist all the time. I put the rock in the water dish so it can get out easier. I don't know if that is needed. Any suggestion welcome. I am also looking in to getting a thermostat for the under the tank heater. I was told that the heat pad would be sufficient for heating. The babies I saw were only a few inches long. They were coiled in their dish just coming back from the reptile show so it is hard to know for sure how big they are.
