Hello all. It's been a week since we've bought fluffy and it has just been very stressful. We live in a basement apartment and have absolutely no control over the temperature in the house.

We have been trying to get the temperatures to where they need to be and its just not working.

Last night we went to bed with the temperatures as followed:
93.2 Hotside
82 ambient
78.3 coldside

This morning we awoke to find that the following temeratures:
89.3 hotside
73.9 coldside

We finally get a functioning temperature and then the next morning we need to raise / lower where the lamp is placed.

We have a 30 gallon tank, mesh topped. The coolside of the mesh is covered with tin foil to help retain humidity and heat.
We are currently using a 75 watt nocturnal infrared heat lamp (zoo med) to heat the tank.

Since the ambient temperature of the house is all over the place we have been pulling our hair trying to get the temperatures in the tank where they need to be and it has become nothing but stressful for poor fluffy because every few hours we need to open up the lid of the tank to check the temperatures around the tank.

Any help, ideas, products or anything would be useful at this point. (We would be willing to pay more money to get this handled and have consistent temperatures)

We just want fluffy to be happy and healthy. That is our priority.

Thank you.
