I would invest in a good quality thermostat. I have a few HerpStats and I've never had any problems.

Hope he pulls through for you.
yeah i did think the one from petsmart would be good. all i knew from my research was a thermometer wasnt enough, i needed a thermostat. so when i got his equipment at petsmart (not him, just his equipment, he was from a mom and pop shop) thats the only one they had. it might work and i didnt have it set up properly, but i am not taking that chance. i mean, how could i, you know? i have another thread asking for thermostat recommendations, so i can have a variety to look at and pick the one that works best for what i need. im also considering moving him to a tub set up. my female thrives in the tank, never had a bad shed, never turns down a meal, etc. but with him, he has never had a good shed, despite misting, putting the moss in his tank, etc. so i think in the long run, a tub would be better for him. we'll see.

thanks again everyone for all of your help! i hope that soon i will be posting a recovery success story!
