    The cooler side can be in the mid 80's it sounds good though thus far. As long as there's a warm side you should be good.

    Yup, your setup sounds just about perfect. The cool side surface temps are going to be pretty well exactly the same as the air temps, and those are perfect.

    Re: new questions...

    Basicaly the shed when they want no real set time. Our normal has shed twice in 2 months but he is growing real fast. What I have read says 3-4 times a year as an adult. You get your little guy to eat yet?

    latest setup as i wait "patiently" to see if gambit eats his mouse...\

    i put the water over a few of my daughters "lego" peaces so it would act as a hiding place too...
