    Alright. I have the half log in there now for cover. Where I'll be positioning the light will be over that. That should be fine right? Going to take a lunch break right now and go get that light. The lighting I was using was a standard low watt light for day/night cycle mostly.

    He needs shade. A fake plant with wide leaves to also shade his eyes. While he sleeps so it doesn't bug him too much. Plus I bet he will love to have it to burrow next to.

    Alright I have fake plants left over from my red eye's old viv ok good news and maybe bad news? The infrared one they had a 50 watt and got it, the sun glo one only had 100 and 150... I got the 100 in hopes that I can just dim it down with my flukers dimming lamp. :/

    That bad news for sure. You won't be able to use the 100 watt. It will cook your frog even with the dimmer. Also it will be too bright. The lamp can only handle up to 75 watts anyway so the lamp itself won't be able to handle the bulb.

    When you take the 100 watt Exo Terra back look for a Zoo Med Basking Spotlight. Its the same as the Exo Terra just made by Zoo Med.

    Boo ok well I can at least start off with the night bulb tonight and wake up early tomorrow and get the day bulb before I start their day cycle. Ok so I think I'm good for now. Thanks again so much for the knowledge. I'll update in a day or two and share whats going on with him.

    So I just got home from work and the UTH that I JUST purchased yesterday isn't emitting any heat -____- just my luck. Luckily I still have all the packaging and receipt so I will be taking that thing back first thing in the morning.
