Today I actually did something productive. Of course, it was at night when everyone is asleep. I have a pretty good amount of energy at night, which is weird.
I mixed 50lbs of soil and sand together to make a good substrate for my leopard gecko's new enclosure. Given the fact that I am weak as hell, I'm actually pretty impressed with what I did. I only had my two hands, a spade, and a small tub to work with. I had to fill the tub, mix it, and dump it in the tank about 6 or 7 times, but I managed to transfer all of that soil mix indoors. It still kind of looks like I don't have enough substrate though. I might need another bag of soil... I still have play sand left. I also washed Stumpie's basking spot, which is a ceramic set of stairs that lead up to a platform. It has space underneath for her to hide in, and it gets nice and warm. Still have to wash and disinfect everything else she has.
Ah well. As long as I make progress, that's all that really matters. She deserves new digs. I took bad advice on tank size, so she's been in a 20 gallon long since I got her. She's going to be moving into a 120 gallon enclosure that I initially purchased for a bearded dragon. I guess this is my way of making amends.
