If you've read some of my previous threads you might recall I have had a ton of trouble with heating and my little ball was a little on the mean side.
I was running a 100w bulb with a rheostat and had so much trouble maintaining a decent heat and had to continuously check on it. Recently I went to New England Reptile Distributors and took the advice of many people here and purchased a thermostat. Have it hooked up to a 'DEEP' light dome with a 150w bulb. What a wonderful idea. The room he is in is always cold, Like 60 degrees cold, but the inside of his tank has been between 92 - 94 with no problems.
His attitude has changed 100%. I can take him out of his tank without him trying to strike and he even slithers around on me. Huge difference from his former hostile little self.
