new ball owner a few questions

well everyone, all seems to be ok. i asked my girlfriend about the line because we both got ours at the same time and she said she saw mine and hers so it didnt just appear. as for it getting longer i think that was just me being crazy and looking too far into things. his eyes are now going cloudy so i am about to experience his first shed and i will post about the scales later.

in my tank i have a piece of driftwood i got at a pet store as well as a plastic hideaway and a water bowl. the substrate is reptile turf. and to be honest i dont know much about the humidity but it is something i will be looking into since he is about to shed.

thanks for the help everyone.

Do you have a thermometer? Or a humidity gauge? Get another hide. They need two, one on the warm side, and one on the cool side.

i have two stick on thermometers one on the cool side and one on the warm. the cool side stays at about 83 and the warm around 92. he hides under his driftwood because it is mounted to his tank but i will look into another hide. his tank is only 10 gallons so im not working with a lot of room but he seems to be happy with what he has. i will definatly get a humidity gauge tomorrow.

Those stickons suck. Get an accurite thermometer hygrometer combo from Lowes/Walmart/Home depot for 15 bucks. WAAAAY better. Those stickons can be off by 20!!!

Just a thought... When he is bigger look into getting a rubbermaid enclosure, better than tanks IMO.

will do. thanks for all the help bpkid.

No problem

Here's the link for the thermometer.

Also if you are using a UTH then a thermostat is a must. Might want to look into one. they keep the UTH from spiking and burning your pet. Very handy for gettin the temps right on perfact. Hope this helps also.
