Hello hello!
I’ve had Bucky for about 2 months now. He’s doing great! I do have a question though. He mainly hangs out under the basking bulb alll day, he rarely goes to the cool side of the tank. My infrared thermometer is measuring the hot side between 100-110 degrees, and the cool side is between 75-80 degrees. We even added some small logs on the cool side last week hoping it would get his attention but he only hangs out on them for like 2 minutes. With it being summer time and the air conditioner on, should I consider getting a ceramic heat emmiter for the cool side? Or even a low wattage household bulb?
Here is Bucky, and a picture of my tank, it’s an older picture, all we’ve added is more logs on the cool side and raised his big log a little higher for him on the hot side.
