Did you get yours with the basking shelf? I was thinking of moving my carpets to a t8 when they are adults with the shelving option.

No. I was scared she would break it (she's pretty fat), and I use a UTH, so I didn't see how a basking shelf would've been effective. I've seen people house Carpets in T8's. Idk, though. For me, it'd depend on how big my carpet was (if I owned any, which I do not) and it would depend on how active they were.

Right, didn't take the weight of dum's into account.

Well, mine is also overweight for her size (weight to length ratio), which doesn't help. This is due to a stupid previous owner. I'm working on thinning her out a bit, at the moment.
