We did end up getting a UTH last night..temp up to 91 when I went home for lunch today. Unfortunately it did not come with a thermostat, it was sold separately and they Petco was out of them. When his night light is on the temp stays at around 89 to 90.We put the UTH on the side of the tank, as the tank is on a wooden entertainment stand. Now Im having probs with humidity. its dropped to 20%. We are using 100% fir chips, thats what came with the kit. We mist the tank often, but its just not holding. But once I did get the temp up, my BP finally did his first feed. Keep the advice coming.
