Alright, I am a new bp owner and am just finishing up my first week with him. So I have a 55g glass tank and I know its big, but it was free. I have two UTHs both on thermostats, i keep one side around 91 and the other around 83 and the ambient temp currently is around 86. My house gets very cold at night and I just set up my second UTH today. At night should I run a infared light for heating purposes also? To avoid a drastic temp drop?, or should I towel over? or foil over? I was also thinking about attaching the infared to the basking thermostat, so it keeps the basking side around 89 at night and just adjust the temp in the morning and before bed? Any advice? or does my set up sound fairly good?
I also have a lot of things in my tank to give my bp his privacy, and have blacked out the sides with non-grip shelving liner so he feels safer![]()
