Weve had Fuzzy for 6 days now and ive yet to see him take himself to the basking spot.
Hes usually on the cooler side of the cage in the shade.
He will stay on the hot spot once i put him there untill he gapes then he moves.
Im just wondering if hes still finding his way around the cage as its still pretty new to him and at the pet shop he had a log and a bowl for company! ?
Maybe the tank is a little hot. The weather has been good here lately and my living room has been hot.
I had to get a lower basking bulb as the 100w was sending temps to over 40c. In the basking area.
Ive lowered the bulb to 50w and temps now say 33c.
The cooler side says between 26 an 28c and isnt fallin much lower at night.
Im not sure how to cool the colder side down as its a long strip light across the back of the tank mounted inside on the lid. exo terra repti glo 10.0 uvb, 30w The tank is 4 ft long and the light is 3ft so goes along most of the tank apart from 6inches either end.
He was under his hide a bit yesterday but when i got him out he felt cold.
Should i worry?
Thanks in advance x
