My BP has a UTH and a heat lamp for when the ambient temp drops.
However, my apartment isn't temperature controled and I'm having a hard time keeping his temps right. I live in upstate NY and the temp... fluctuates. It might be 90 tomorrow and 65 the day after.
Like this morning, I got home from work at 7am and it was cold out. I checked his tank and it was a little cooler than I'd like (ambient was 72ish and hot spot 80ish) so I flipped on the heating light (and just to avoid that question - it is outside the tank so he can't get on it). When I went to sleep at 8 the ambient was about 80, the hot spot 92ish.
However I woke up at 3 or so and it was HOT. I check on his tank and his hot spot is 97 and the ambient 95. I flip off the light but my apartment is now 85 degrees...
Any ideas how to regulate temp when I can't regulate my apartment temp?
