Hello all! This is my first post so please bear with me haha.

I have had my little guy (Jace, pictured in my avatar) for about three months now. He is doing well and I have even successfully switched him to f/t! He had a rough first shed but I have since corrected the problem.

My questions are: Do I need both a UTH and lamp? I have both and used to keep them on at the same time (50w infrared bulb) but I found that the lamp sucked out the humidity in my tank and I have read that having both is not necessary. What do you all recommend?

Also, I am confused as to what temps to keep. Every thing I read says something different. I am currently keeping his hot spot at 87-90, cool side at 75-81, and humidity 50-60% and 60-70% during shed. I kind of just averaged everything I read but I would like to see what the majority of you say.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read! I will probably be making more posts in the future lol

p.s. this may be a silly question but on the signatures I have pretty much figured out what the 1.0 and 2.0 means, but what is meant when someone puts, for example, "0.1 (insert name here)" does that mean their pet has passed?
