Hi,
I got my BP 2 days ago and I just wanted to make sure I got everything as close as possible as optimal.
I've been following this guide (as well as others) and I think I got things correct, but I wanted to double check.
-I've got 2 hide spots that are the same, one on the cold side and one on the hot side.
-I've got a branch he can climb on to get to the fake plants that are ~ 2 inches from the heat lamp.
-The basking spot near the top light is ~93F
-I'm using a 20 gallon tank. (my BP is ~22 inches)
-I'm using a UTH
-2 CHE with 50W infrared bulbs on 24 hours.
-Cold side (probe is on the substrate) is 82F. (as seen in the pic)
-Hot side (probe is on the substrate) is 92F. (as seen in the pic)
-I'm using the ambient lighting as day/night. (I have 3 other cages setup on a timer 8am to 8pm.
-The humidity is ~50-60% (It's 55% right now).
-Ambient temp is around 80F.
Here's a pic of my viv...
Am I good to go with this setup (until he gets bigger)?
And what are the ranges in temp for the cold and hot sides? ie 2-4 degrees?
Thanks in advance.
