Suspect?

Suspect?

Had my radiators replaced and noticed holes left in the plasterboard from old ones. House dates from 1760s. I hadn’t initially worried about plasterboard but seen a few posts saying suspected. Looks kinda hairy 😬

Edited to say it’s a hollow plasterboard type wall and I’m in the Uk

House previously has asbestos cement roof tiles so makes me think work was done to the house in the 70s when it was split into 2 houses which I’m guessing was prime asbestos use time

Hi everyone, I’m totally new to looking after leopard geckos. This is my son’s birthday present. I tried to research as much as I could before. Unfortunately I’m in the uk with an old, cold house so have gone for a wooden Viv instead of a beautiful glass one. At first we had a little paving cave under the heater but there was only about 15.5cm clearance. I placed a large rock there instead that’s lower with the thermostat on. We added lots of large rocks that are all heavy so stable. There are hiding places in the rocks. Then where I was going to put the moist hide instead is the paved one. Moist is under cork to the front. Under it has a bamboo plate with moist moss on top and covered in substrate. Then there’s a cork hiding spot in the coolest corner. Not sure if I have too many rocks or if I should change the cork moist hide for a fake rock look one that’s enclosed. I have calcium powder with d3 to put on crickets etc. I have read to include a bowl of regular calcium powder. Do I definitely need this? There’s a shallow bowl of water as well as a bowl for worms. Heat wise I am using infrared at the moment but waiting on a smaller ceramic bulb so I can reduce cage. Shop I bought it from sent me a 150w ceramic bulb which seemed like a lot for a 3ft x 1.5ft vivarium. I have a t5 strip light with the low setting reflection. Hope all is good. Any tips much appreciated as we hope she lives a long and happy life 😊
