Hello everyone!
I've had a leopard gecko for a little over a year now, and also have a 120g fish tank that I keep Jaguar Cichlid's in. I've been reading a lot about snakes, and I decided yesterday to go out and get a BP (after much convincing from my girlfriend who doesn't like snakes).
He/she is currently in a 20g long fish tank with a slide-on screen lid. I'm using Aspen mulch for substrate. I covered half of the lid to help hold humidity in the tank. Currently I'm using a large heat lamp with a 60w red bulb in it to maintain correct temperature, also a 10-20g UTH for belly heat (both on the right side of the tank). I used my probe thermometer this morning and the hot side of the tank was about 95, while the cold side was about 82. I turned down the lamp to about 70% power instead of 100%. Hopefully this will drop the temp a little bit for him. I'm shooting for 92 on the hot side and 78ish on the cold. I have two different hygrometers in the tank to check humidity, one is a temp/hygro mixed meter and it is positioned in the center of the tank. It says the humidity is about 45. The other hygrometer I got was from petco, it is more toward the left (cold) side of the tank and it says the humidity is at 60.
1. He was fed last Friday. I have not bothered him since he went into his new home yesterday. Should I try to feed him this Friday or let him rest until next week?
2. Are my temp's okay?
3. Humidity?
