    Sounds about right. You want cool side to be closer to 77-80, and your hot side is good. Might want to add some more ground cover if there is open area (the crumpled newspaper technique seems to work I think). I keep my 275 gram lesser in a 12 quart tub still.

    Also, I show this video too often, but its a great video for learning how to deal with nippy hatchlings. I used what he shows in the video to tame down my lesser. After she started eating 3 times in a row, I started taking her out for 5 minutes every morning and increased the time longer and longer. She used to strike at me all the time and tense up the second I touched her, but now shes puppy dog tame Cant say the same for my orange ghost yet though unfortunately.
