Hey man good question. There is a couple of ways to go with this. First the temp on the warm side should be 90-100 or 95-105. For the cool side there should be a 10-15 degree difference from the warm side to cool side. So that would put it around 75-80. It be better to have it around 80. Now...

I do have screen tops for vents, but I am probably today going to get a incadesnet bulb. Thank you for all your help.

Hello My tank is having a problem with a few things. One, I can't get the temperatures to go above 90 degrees. I am using a Heater in the room, but it gets so hot that I the tank was once 108 total on both sides! I also can't keep the 10 degree difference on the cool side and on the warm side...

Am using Ex-Terra. I have a 250 watt bulb in a barbed cage because anything above a 250 watt because it will overheat and crack (like the domes). But I have mine on all day long and he sleeps in the cover of his shelter. But it's your choice of what you want to do. Ex-Terra is not my personal...

When I had mine by a window I had blinds over it. But I moved it across the room dued to Michigan is cold in the winter and my windows are not sealed. So I would either put blinds over it, or move it. Depending if you live where winters are cold, I would not put it in the basement unless your...

They work fined for a couple of weeks but then they get looser like if they overheated.

That sentence means to get in one side of the tank I have to move the heat lamp so I can get in. Right now it's on the door to get my hand in.

Am sorry that I made things not understandable. The fixture is a barbed cage from Exo Terra and can support 250 watt bulbs. I had a dome from Zoo med that supported up to 150 watt bulbs. My bulbs worked for a couple of weeks when it stopped working. My tank temps were in the 70's so I check the...

I use turf from Lowes. At first I wanted to use play sand, but since money has been tight I have chose carpet. It's easy to clean, once a week, but you have to tear the entire tank apart to get it out. But it gives me the excuse to clean the rock and wood with hot water and soap. Then I let it...

Well to recieve all the UVB waves which are essential to processing nutrients, you will have to get a longer bulb. It will have to be the same size of the tank. So I hope this has helped you. Oh the bulb should be on 12 hours to 14 hours a day. I have mine on at 9 AM and till 9 PM. Thanks for...

Hello This is a small tank, but works for about 2-3 weeks untill he is bigger. This is because when he is bigger, he can't get away from the heat comeing from the bulb and will die from overheating. If you decide to stick with this tank, one it should only be used for a couple of weeks. Two...

Alright I have a issue. My ceramic heat emmiters are breaking. Thing is the fixture still works. I have went through 3 ceramic heat emitters, 2 150 watt, and 1 250 watt. I also have gone through a incandecant bulb as well. To get in one side I have to pick it up to get in the enclosure, but I...
