I just want to start out by saying you guys have loads of great info on this site! And yes Im new and this will be my first post. With that being said, thats why Im here, I think I might be doing some stuff wrong after looking at some of the posts. I just recently purchased 2 BPs and the Mars Reptile show this weekend (1.1.0). I have a friend that has BPs and he told me how he set his up so I went off of that. Im not using UTH, just a basking light. I have 2 hides, a water bowl big enough for them to get in, a big basking log(that is also rough) all on aspen bedding. I Keep there basking spot at about 90 degrees and the ambient temp is about 72-73 degrees. Heres a pic
I dont have a humidity gauge, I just mist it once or twice a day. I also have both in the same tank which after reading some I think that might be a bad idea. The tank is a 20g long critter keeper. I have another 10g tank just laying around. Do I need to split them up? If so should I get another 10g and put each in one or will one be ok in a 10g and the other in the 20g. Should I go ahead and throw my heat pads on and get Red or Blue lights for the cool end? If there is anything else you guys see thats wrong or could be upgraded let me know. I have kept corn snakes up until now and their care is a bit different as Im sure you all know. I did my research before I got them but this site seems to be giving better info than I found elsewhere. Thanks in advance for the help. O yea here are my BPs.
