Yea the Temperatures on the cold side can get as low as 71F while around the hotter side where the 90F belly heat is located at has been in 76F.Originally Posted by tttaylorrr
hello, friend!
since your post isn't broken into paragraphs it made it a bit hard to read. consider that next time you have a long post so more people read it. i mean this to be productive and not mean-spirited in any way!
so reading through your post i have some scattered comments:
• ditch any analog/dial/non-digital thermometer/hygrometer. they're almost literally useless for a species that requires such specific husbandry.
• an under tank heater (UTH) does nothing to raise ambient (air) temps. if your enclosure is reaching as low as 70° F you will need an ambient heat source on a thermostat to raise temps to the appropriate degree (77-82° F). a lot of people on the forum have great success with a CHE (ceramic heat emitter) as have i.
i hope this helps get you on the right path to proper husbandry! if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
What do you use to control your CHE’s temp? i need a cheap and effective item if possible. Let it be rheostats or thermostats. Thanks for answering
