Ok, again I made somewhat of a mistake, and I may have combated it with a different mistake. I feel overprotective sometimes.
Anyway, this morning I turned my heater on like I said. The temps were good in a matter of 20-30 minutes. It was pretty cold today (for Texas), and I set the temp on LOW. I took a 4 hour nap (not usually, but I was dead tired today), and when I woke up, I checked the pacman temps and they were at 90°F.
That was the first mistake, here is what I did after that.
I took it into my Livingroom (under my very close supervision), and watched the temps quickly drop to 88, then 86, then slowly to 84, then when I checked later, it is at 76, just like it is now. *frown* Are pacman frogs sensitive to tempreture fluctuations?
Now what do I do? I am trying to take my room tempretures in the preferable daytime range. That may take several minutes, though.
I don't want to counter the counter mistake with another mistake. I should be slower to move it and change the envronment.
I need you guys to rate some scenerious for me so I can make wiser descitions. Please rate on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 is the pacman wont notice and no action is necesary, 10 is the pacman is dead.
Asuming these conditions have been this way for an hour;
90*F in the tank=
70*F daytime=
50% Humidity=
95% Humidity=
Asuming these conditions have been this way for 6 hours;
90*F in the tank=
70*F daytime=
50% Humidity=
95% Humidity=
I am sorry about this guys. I am going to get a heater as soon as I can afford it, but then I am going to need to upgrade it to a 10g tank, because I don't want to put a heater on plastic. I am wondering about how to use UTH/Reptile Heat Pad, I guess that is on topic for this thread.![]()
