Please tell anyone that is considering owning a reptile for the first time to research it first and to make sure they know about their scaly bundle of joy before they bring it home. Not sure what happened to the BD but all this could have been avoided with just a little research.
in defense of the woman... until recently i did have only one 100watt bulb for heat (uvb is separate) and it did great heating the tank. we now have two because the temps in the house have dropped some but im just sayin...
