Re: Puck's terrible twos
Thank you. A lot of what I read said that you don't want a pet kept in such warm temps because they can't burrow as deep in a tank to get away from the heat. The bulb is also on a dimmer and kept a little less than half. I originally wasn't sure what bulb to get since so many things said different things. Should I switch to a red or purple nocturnal bulb? I had read a few things that said this would be better for them during the day.
Whatever bulb I get, I can adjust the brightness to keep the temps steady so that's not that hard. I'll also get a bigger under the tank heater to keep the night temps up, too. I assumed he was OK since he always soaks at night during the cooler temps, and was also told that they soak to help cool off (my logic being that if he's soaking to cool off, then the temps can't be too cool), plus he's always on the cooler side of the tank. But I appreciate the advice and will up the temps. I have a hydrometer and I'll get a reptifrogger to help with the humidity. Right now it's usually in the 70%s, but that might help it from dipping down to the 60%s. I also was considering getting (and probably will now) something to cover part of the lid to help keep moisture in.
Added the pictures. Also, he doesn't look like he's shedding.
