I give Pat a hot spot of 86F on the top perch in the back right corner. Then the temps extend all the way down anywhere from 77-79F. Pat seems fairly happy. He moves around during the course of the day. Lat night he was sitting on the middle of top perch. Then this morning, he was directly under the heater for the day and recently he moved back to the top of his plant on the left side. I go through all that work to re do his perches and he still goes back to that plant!! I swear, he loves that thing. I wonder what he is going to do when he outgrows being able to sit on top of it lol.Originally Posted by SDA
Have you noticed they like it cooler? I started about 86 and now am down to 84 for the day and around 81 at night and that seems to make things much better. What's pat's temps at and are you noticing cooler makes them happier?
If you do ever get the dreaded prolapse and need reassurance just ask, I am now the prolapse queenI doubt you are going to suffer that as you have a great eater and drinker.
And honestly, for the temps, i just keep the small CHE like i said, i the back right corner and the rest of the cage is room temp. The CHE is only a 40 watt nano so it doesnt put out that much heat. I personally wouldnt heat them up too much especially babies as they can dehydrate pretty quick. Warmer it is, the faster they dehydrate plus you add in food digestion.
Anyways, here's Pat on top of his plant again!! After all that work i put into using the dremel to get his perches perfect. Little booger!
