These are photos I took at night (w/ flash obviously). You can see he's very fixated on his night lamp, lol. The hot side temps in my tank during the day range from 90-93, at night they drop to 80-82 at the lowest. The cool side stays around 79-80 although that may not be accurite.

That cardboard is used to cover the left and back sides on the tank (although it's not on the right way in the photo). I also have something to block light from the front at night, since I have him on 12hour shifts day/night and I'm always up much later than when his nights begin.


O... and that's not a real gun, just a pellet gun I bought in high school which I recently resurected.

Hope all that helped



The 30 gallon can be used when she's a big girl so I'd take it and save it.
