New PACMAN owner - few questions

[seks]

For heating I only use the Ceramic heat bulb and it is on a Zoo med Hygrotherm controller,

Wouldn't the constant ON/OFF action significantly decreases the life of the ceramic heat bulb?

"bulb" isn't exactly the right word and I shouldn't have used it, its one of these

"ReptiCare® Ceramic Heat Emitters are the perfect 24 hour heat source for all reptiles. These porcelain heating devices screw into a standard porcelain incandescent socket, giving off intense muscle-penetrating" infrared heat while emitting no light. The flat-faced design is more efficient and longer lasting than conical designs which build up excess heat internally ultimately carbonizing the element."

Yup. I just purchased the hygrotherm controller with the repti fogger and some ceramic heat emitters... made my life 10000x easier.


I'm having trouble getting him to eat for the tongs now. He might of just did it the first time because the place where I purchased him had him nearly starving. I'm feeding him a few crickets each day, maybe 1 or 2. But I just drop them in the enclosure with him and when they get too close he goes after them.
