sure. we have him in a 10 gallon tank, which is about twice
the size of the little place he had at the pet shop. on the
right side of the tank we have an undertank heating pad and
an incandescent nocturnal spot that get the temp up to about
82 degrees. his humid hide is on the warm side of the tank,
i use sphagnum moss to hold the moisture. his water dish is
towards the cool side of his tank, and his other hide is on
the left side of his tank. he also has a little climbing
branch (one of those store bought bendy-branches). the
substrate for the rest of the tank is reptile bedding/litter
(looks like rabbit pellets).
from what i've observed, he loves to hang out in his moist
hide or on top of it and bask. i've only been able to get
the temp up to about 82 degrees, i'm working on getting it
higher. it's been a much harder task than i thought it
would be, i've been through about 4 bulbs already, this is
the closest i've gotten to the 85-88 degree range that's
recommended for them. the combination of a 100 watt spot
incandescent (nocturnal) and the undertank heating pad is
still only getting it up to about 82. i'm currently out of
town, my wonderful boyfriend is taking care of him for me,
keeping me updated a million times a day - i may have him go
out and get a 150 watt to see how much more we can raise the
temp. any suggestions?
if you need any more info, let me know. thanks again.
