Thanks guys. I really, really, really don't want to keep him in the tiny closet tank. I'm going to goodwill to find a desk lamp or anything that'll help me out. I took him out of his large tank also so I could safely raise the temp of the heating pad, it's too strong for a 10gal, but it was free, so no complaints. I'm heating up the soil at least and will turn it off for maybe an hour before putting him back in. I'll keep you guys posted. I've only had him since aug13th, but I'm already really attached to him and my Pacific. Thanks for the help.
