also could i use a uv light to warm up the enclosure some more, i can't crank up the voltage on my under tank heater until i get my digital thermostat. the temp just above the soil is reading 75 and i do not have a temp probe to measure the temp in the soil.

thanks

Is it UVB? It should be fine temporarely. UVB also stimulates the production of Vitamin D3, but with no calcium to metabolize it wont help with the MBD. Use the light for day, but not night. Make him comfortable. If you can also buy a space heater and use it to heat the room hes in.
