Does anyone around Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, ect have any tips for dealing with below 0 weather? My house gets extremely chilly in the winter and im worried about my tank shattering from the extreme heat difference of the inside to outside of it :!: :!:

I haven't run into any issues like that in the winter. Some nights get quite cold and the house will drop into the 50s so I have a ceramic heat emitter over the tank hooked up to a thermostat so it will kick in and keep the tank between about 70-73 overnight as needed. The difference in temperature under the basking light/inside the tank vs outside doesn't cause a problem with the tank itself.

Thank you, do you have a reccomendation for the brand of ceramic heater? All the reviews on Amazon have less than 4 stars saying it doesnt do anything i dont want to worry about her freezing mid winter cause it gives out

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
