Hey dudes and dudettes!
My name is Cory and I'm new to the forum. Just scooped up my very first fantasy pacman as well. My pacmans name is Grux and would be considered a juvenile at this point I'd say. probably one of the coolest pets I've ever had. I picked him up a few days ago and to my surprise brought him home introduced him to his pad and he even ate 2 earthworms for me. I did a lot of reading prior to getting him and his pad consists of a 10 gal tank 2 fake plants a water dish coco fiber substrate hydro/temp gauges and a 10-20 gal heating pad attached to the back of the tank. The only problem I'm running into so far seems to be the tank temps. During the day it's coming up to 70 and at night it's going to 65. I thought that do to the screen top perhaps it was letting the heat right out. So I laid an old tee across 3quarters of the lid which seem to help a minimal amount figuring it would help contain the heat. Right now in PA it's relatively cold outside temps in the low 30's a majority of the time and my house is kept at 70. He spends a majority of his time on the dryer half of the tank closer to the back where the heating pad is. I figure if he is eating for me he can't be to bother by the slightly lower temps. Anyone with suggestions or comments let me know! And thanks guys for having me in the forum it's much appreciated as the members here are very knowledgable!
