Heat Lamp And Heating Pad

Should I use my infered lamp through the day and the heat pad at night??

Use whatever keeps the temperatures at the correct levels and use them all the time. If it's a red light lamp, it won't hurt to have it on at night too.. just keep an eye on your humidity levels.

Lamps are humidity suckers.


The search function is really handy at times!! :D ;)

I use a red lamp but ive found that by positioning the lamp partially over the water bowl it gives him a basking spot and creates humidity. it could be wrong but like ive said it seems to work to keep my humidity level around 55-60%if someone has a better method let me know:)

I have to use both, and I too position the lamp over the water to increase the humidity. When there is an impending shed, I add a second bowl to bump up the humidity.
