What are you using for heat right now while you are waiting for a UTH and dimmer? Lights or CHE? What do the temps go to at night with no supplementary blacklight for heat?
Thank you for your response!! (Sorry for all of the noobness & ???'s )

I am using a light dome with clear bulb 100 watt and the black (I guess it really is "blue") light is the Exo-Terra 75watt Moonlight bulb. I got up around 3:00am to check on him and he stayed under the blue light, which is abnormal becuase he usually goes to his hide and foilage at night.

(I know are way too low) Temps are running an average of 70-75 at night and 75-80 during the day. Humidity is averaging 55-60

He just finished his first shed and I did have to give a few baths to remove the rest of the skin.... I bought Sphagnum moss today to put in and near his hide. (I read Im supposed to microwave it first to kill any mites... if this is true how long do I nuke it for?)


Also have a ?? regarding the outside lining. If I paint the glass black can I put aluminum and then the foam-board on the outside of it for additional insulation?
