Alright, so ive been spending a few weeks trying to get temps just right as my house gets a little cold in the winter, and I dont wanna take a new ball into a freezing environment. I have a very deep tank but it was all I had, its a large 55 gallon glass tank, that was once an aquarium, I sanitized it very well. But its hard to keep the ambient temperature right. I can keep the warm side at a proper temperature, currently about 85-90 during the day, but the cool side says its only around 75, is that acceptable? or if not, what should I do to raise that? I currently use a heat lamp, infa red bulb at night, 100 watt during the day, but im thinking about just using the infa red bulb all the time and letting the ambient light in my room control its light dark cycle. I am still very nervous, as I want to make sure its as happy as it can be. And as it should be it hides alot during the day and it is its third night with me, and it is wide awake around 1 am, it is pacing the tank quite frequently and flickering its tongue quite often, could it be hungry and in hunt mode already? Or is he still just learning his surroundings? any advice would be much appreciated
