--He is 6 months old. (born 8-09) I've only had him for 2.5 days. His set up looks like this, 12x12x30 it is tall not long. exo terra I got as a display model. I got a large four paws natures heat (710000) heat pad. But at the bare glass the temp is 100+ but if I lay the digital thermometer on top of the substrate I can get temps 85-92 using a rheostat. The cool side is about 74. (This whole setup except heat pad is temporary for a few months)
--But I'm freaked out over the temperature thing. (a side from who's version I read) The store owner said 90. My book says 85. But my biggest concern is this the surface temp of the glass botttom. It's currently covered with about a inch of Fur bark bedding. I don't want to cook him! But I don't want him to freeze to death as a result of my paranoia. The worst part is because I'm freaking out. I keep moving him and it's already feeding day and I doubt he's going to eat.
PLEASE let me know, where should I be measuring the cage temps from?
On top of the substrate? Below the substrate against the glass? Or like the stupid generic directions say "against the top of the lid on the inside"?
