So I just got my girly and realized the custom cage we built her is just too massive for her right now so we have her in a 30 gallon storage tub at the moment.
I'm having an issue keeping her cage warm, I was using the 125 watt solar glo bulb and It had popped so I exchanged it for the 160 watt... When I read the paper the bulb comes with I noticed I should actually have the 125 watt for my medium-large cage anyway. But it wasn't warming up the whole cage.
Where her hide box is it was really cool, but the area under the light was warm... I have a thermometer but haven't put it in to check the temps yet since we are in the middle of moving currently. I'm hoping when we set up her new cage we got, which is a 40 gallon cage, that maybe things will even out like they should but I'm a little unsure since the smaller cage wasnt as warm as it should be.
Also, I read that some people only use the mvb lights and maybe one regular house light for the other side of the cage. But how do you keep the temps up at night? Is it a good idea to invest in the ceramic heat emitters? The temps have dropped to the 50-60's as well, and the temps in the house are about the same as outside since the heaters working on catching up with the unusual weather changes, so that may be playing a role in her cage too.
I'm just getting worried that its too cool, I pulled her out of her hide box so we could mover her without her getting hurt and the moss was still damp but it was very cold, not humid at all. :C
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've read and read and read over heating threads and humid hide threads but I get confused with all the various opinions on what someone does and then someone else disagreeing. I'm so confused :huh:
