I read the other posts about TFS' that Zandi202 posted and well...I'm a slow learner, apparently. Liz helped me get my son a True Fire Skink yesterday (love her dearly for that) but I am just really confusing myself on "basking" temps, spots...I don't know anymore.
There is an overhead light, his log, hide, eco-earth? moist substrate, heating pad under tank, water dish (shallow), misting often, keeping it all moist.
The temp in the tank is between mid 70's to 80...my confusion is the "basking" area. Should this be: light in dome above log with heating pad underneath? I have a 4 month old beardie and I understand their needs are very different.
Can anyone please tell me the correct basking temp and if it is taken on top of his log just like my beardie? I feel horrible texting Liz every five minutes. Thought I'd try and give her a break :wink: Also, my Zoomed Reptisun 10.0 tube is on it's way to us now and we will be mounting it above the enclosure...outside/over the screen. Sorry again, my brain is so scattered...I feel like I'm back at square one again with that "new mommy" worry all day stuff I went through with Batman when he was 2 weeks old.
TFS' name is Flash...and I honestly don't know how old he/she is...
Edited to add: We also have lots of greenery!
