New Enclosure/ Temperature Tips
Hello Everyone!
First post but just wanted to keep others' advice, tips or experiences with similar situations.
I am putting together a BP tank (No animal yet), Exo Terra 36" x 18" x 18." UTH with Thermostat on one side directly under a cork hide, background w/live plants, substrate mixture of coco fiber-reptibark-moss and will be of course putting in humid hide, water bowl, etc.
I am trying to get temperatures correct but am having a bit of trouble since its winter her in MN so the room is a bit cooler. I have the thermostat set to 93*, have a infared heat gun, surface temps 88-90.* Air temps under the hide mid 80s. During the day I also use a Zilla Micro halogen to increase ambient temps to low 80's on warm side. Problem is, the cool side usually is low 70's during day, high 60's at night. UTH/thermostat is operating 24/7. Ambient humidity is usually right around 40% between mistings.
Whats everyone's experience; will a BP thermoregulate on its own at night, or should I add additional low wattage heating on the cool side overnight?
Thanks in advance!
