I am a brand new BP owner! I have a heating question. Right now my Bp is on a under the tank heating pad at night only,
and durning the day he’s on a under the tank heating pad and a 50 watt spot bulb (purple all living things brand) with a timer of on for one hour off for one hour just to be sure it doesn’t get too hot. (Today was my first time trying this method)
Well I got home and found him on the cool side and I couldn’t figure out why, I checked my tanks temps and the hot side was 103! I feel so terrible! I don’t want him cooked or too hot! Any tips on wether or not I should turn the under the tank heat mat off during the day and just leave the heat lamp on . Or should I do both and just adjust my time?
Do you necessarily need both to keep temp?
