Hi all
I am struggling getting the Temps right and for how long. Basically I have my thermostat settings as below.
08:00am - 30degrees c
11:00am - 35 degrees c
14:00pm - 32 degrees c
20:00pm - 25 degrees c (the room he's in can get quite cold at night)
Basically the reptile shop I got the setup from gave me a microclimate evo lite thermostat and they told me to set it as if sunrise and sunset hence the rise and drop in Temps at these times however they are also suited for me for when I get up and get home etc. They are set for 12 hours a day. So lights come on at 8 and go off at 8.
I'm just wondering if these Temps look okay for the times they are set also how long should the basking light be on for at its hottest the shop said 2-3 hours is this correct as he is still a baby.
Thanks in advance
Joe
