Another lighting question.... The uvb tube need to be 6 to 8 inches above her highest basking spot? Is that right? Also I've been using a CHE all day and night long, is this bad? Should I just be using it at night time? Do I need a bright basking light for day combined with uvb?

A basking light is required for proper food digestion and the CHE should only be used if needed to get the appropriate temps. Basking area between 100 - 110, cool side around 85, and an overall ambient of about 95. At night time it's safe for the temps to drop as low as 65.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
