i have a lot of questions and not much time.
Right now I have a red reptile bulb in a ceramic clasp fixture on top of my tank.
I have two petco thermometers (the ones u stick on the walls)

Theres teh link. And that humidity meter.
My thermometers are place towards the bottom of the tank like an inch above the substrate.
Now my questions. I hear i need a heating pad with a thermostat to keep one side around 90 and the other side around 80.
Do i need two heat pads one on each side?
Or do I just put a heat pad on the hot side?
Or do I just get one that covers the entire bottom and just put teh light fixture over the hot side?
Now for my light fixture with redbulb.
When do I put it on? All day?
I mean its supposed to aid in heating the basking side isnt it?
Or is it just supposed to be there at night when I turn teh heat pads off?
Do I even turn the heatpads off? I need to to know when the light should be on?
Do i even need light at night?
Do I need a temp gun with probe if i have my thermometers?
So many questions im sorry, but I just got her and you know how petco poorly prepares you....NEWB HERE![]()
