And hopefully not my little guy in the process. I am getting closer to securing the right temps. In hindsight I should have worked this out before bringing him home but I was naive and thought it would be as easy as plugging in a heat light. Wrong!

So I set the uth to 83 but it looks like I should bump it up to 86. Do I need a dimmer heat light on the hot side so I can raise the temp on the hot side above the hide to 86? If I don't the air outside the hide is around 74.

If I do that then I will have a uth on thermostat and two heat lamps on dimmers on a ten gallon tank. Is that ok? A heat lamp on the lowest dim gets the cool side to about 76.

I just want to get this right!
