Ideally, the UVB light source should run the entire length of the tank. A thermometer/hygrometer should be on each end of the tank to confirm cool and warm sides. Use a digital thermometer to verify temps. Those little ones you have can be inaccurate. Provide a hide on both sides as well. Personally, I would remove the fake grass as it has the potential to cause eye injuries. Your tank looks good otherwise.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. Is the floating log the only way she has to get out of the water? That is not recommended. You need to make an actual basking area. The entrance to the basking area should be stationary (not floating) and a gradual incline would be best. http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Red-Eared-Slider-Care-Sheet/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLKDJEGFH7k If you have a basking area and a log, I would not be worried that she hasn't gotten up on the log yet. Give her some more time to figure it out. If she never gets on it it doesn't matter. Some of them just don't like it. She does however need a way to get out of the water (basking area). Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello. For the best health & living conditions for your anole, please only use products designed for them. Heating pads are dangerous & reptiles are not plants & require a very specific spectrum of light to grow in a healthy manner. In the long run, you will have less problems & metabolic health issues if you prepare a proper environment for your pet. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Pothos or philodendron can be used in your vivarium. Be sure to avoid using any potting soil or soil with fertilizer. Artificial plants are also an option since they will survive any "frog stomping".

Stress or illness are likely responsible. Placing dark colored paper around the lower 10-12 inches of the glass might decrease stress. If this doesn't seem to help, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
