New PacMan

Well just took your advise and made him a little home he seems to like it already burrowed himself in the substrate so that must be good.... should I try feeding him again later tonight so far he has eaten 5 tiny crickets today

what do you think of his new home?

I thought i was loosing one of my packman so i listened to john about what was i doing wrong and the tank was to close to the air conditioner so i removed them from there into a 80 degree room and they came back they really want a warm area and a cool area so they have th ewarter supply to cool off now i can get agoodlooking albino like yours

Ah, I just saw how little he is :P Mine is actually bigger than him. Looks better

So i just peeked on him and I noticed he is really buried under could be if cuz he is too cold or is that normal? as of right now it around 74 in the tank i have a 50W heat lamp but its red should I use it to warm up the tank or will that damage his eyes? Im just worried him burrowing himself that deep is not norm behavior any advise?

It is normal. I would use a lower wattage though. I currently use a 25w blue party bulb I picked up from Home Depot for $3 and it works great on keeping the temps up and I don't find it to be too bright.

I just purchased a mini heat pad and put it at the side of the tank and also a 25w blue light.... how high is ur light above the tank mine is about a foot im gonna do a misting and keep the light on for the next hr and see where the temp goes right now its about 70 in there

So anything else I should be feeding him aside from tiny crickets for now?
