Thanks everyone for the imput. I'll wait till he sheds with me to feed him. I'll also be adding paper to the sides and investing in a better thermonter. I have one with a probe though, that's sold in reptile stores...it's not flukers but something else. As for the temps they popped up to 92.3. I am not sure if it was captived hatched...I hope not, but in my excitment I didn't think to ask....
