I just got that after he got the other one stuck to his face im going to go to wall mart to get a better one tonight and something to block out the sides of the tank i have been putting a small blanket over half at night. I was going to try see if i could get a baby rat at the reptile store ive also heard that rats are more fating he was thin when i got him and hasn't eaten sense he has been shedding but im going to try again tonight. i have a heat pad should i just use that and not the heat light. But i heard to use those all the time to hook it to a thermostat and i need to get one perhaps at wall mart as well or one off of the internet. I'm also going to order a temperature gun. Ill take a look at new hides to i tried box shaped things he seams to prefer tubes.
