This Is Murphy! We just got him last night and I already love him/her. Not actually sure yet.
He seems pretty calm, just kinda checking out his new digs.
Does this set up look ok? Right now there are paper towels for his substrate, but I will get ceramic/slate tiles soon. I have a probe thermometer on his basking side and the hydrometer closer to his water bowl/cool side. At 830am it was only reading at 81 degrees. (The 100w basking bulb turned on at 6am) When I use the infrared thermometer his basking surface is 107-109 with the other surfaces being around 75-80. Is this ok? He/she is about 2 or 3 months old. We have the t5 HO 10.0 UVB sitting diagonally across the top screen because the top has a plastic + across the top. It would be best to get a new screen soon without anything on top to block the uvb, right?
I’m also going to get him a few fleece strips so he can cuddle at night and dig at them if he wants.
Thanks in advance everyone! I’m really glad I found this page!!!
