Thank you so much for the quick reply back! I do have a light dimmer in the heat pad now due me researching off this website and worrying about his belly because I don't think it's time for him the shed yet his scales stilllook vibrant not dull and his eyes haven't clouded over so the flaking scales on his belly and pink blotches made me somewhat worried.

Now for the ambient temps in the cage and humidity it's around 74 for the temp in the cool side but the humidity is upwards of around 66 to 67 keeps going up but very slowly so I had the idea to jus get a simple lamp to lower to humidity an get those ambient temps up more cause I feel like they are too low. I don't want him getting RI or anything like that I looked at his mouth again and that coloration has been there since I got him when I looked in older pics. Also I haven't heard any clicking but I haven't checked inside his mouth yet, haven't noticed any mucus on his lips or anything of that nature.


Would the lamp be a good idea? I am in my basement and its kind of cold but really humid from what I've seen down there so far we even have a dehumidifier that runs due to it getting to humid and the old owners of the house said it made some of the ceiling tiles get water spots and start sagging. So I guess get a lamp? Any bulb wattage and color recommendations? I was thinking a black light bulb would be nice especially for at night if it gets too cold and should I get a lamp dimmer for that too??? Depending on what it does in the tank? Thank you so much for the info this site is amazing and I am happy to keep learning more and more about bps all the time
