Hi all thanks for your comments. The grumpy looking one is in fact mable. They both seem to have settled in well as they both have had a nibble of food b4 digging themselves so deep down for the night I thought that I had lost them this morning lol. I am struggling to get the temp at the basking end above 29ish at the moment so will be changing my bulb to a 100w ASAP.

Awww love their grumpy faces, and yes change to 100watt as the basking temp is better around 32-34c

until you get your new bulb could you make a hill under your heat lamp to raise the temps? Also means that if they overturn underneath they will roll away from the heat (great tip from my breeder)

Well mable is definitely grumpy, so far today when one has been awake walking around the other one has been hidden under the substrate and vice versa so they haven't really met. They have just had a bath and when I put them both back in mable wasn't to pleased to see Stanley and tried to bite him on the head

. Will this be something I should keep a close eye on at this early stage?
