well all, thanks for the quick answers. i removed the carpet, put in a 60% aspen mulch 40% shaved coconut mix in its place. put in 2 under tank heaters each with a rheostat and got rid of the heat lights. so far temps are perfect at 94 hot side, 81-82 cool side. humidity is around 65%. i also got rid of the screen top and put on my hinged glass vented top. The setup i had originally was recommended by the pet store reptile "expert". hmmmm time for a new pet store.
Sad to say, many pet store reptile "experts" are called that because they knew someone who owned a snake or lizard once upon a time.
I heard a pet store "expert" telling someone looking at a ferret that they are vegetarians like guinea pigs and could live on alfalfa and carrots mixed with apples and stuff.
After the "expert" left for a minute, I made sure to tell them to get a ferret book BEFORE getting a ferret, because if they listened to that imbecile, they were going to end up with a dead ferret within a week.
Luckily, they believed me and bought a copy of Ferrets for Dummies before they left.
So, just because they work in a pet store that sells that animal, don't believe for one second that it means they know diddly about the animal.
