Hey all I know we had kinda wrapped up here but this morning rigs has been acting funny, I will include pics but for one he almost never goes inside his tiki he prefers to bask on it and I know he wasn't sleeping there all night (at like 4 when i went to pee he was sleeping in his usual spot sorry tmi) and on top of that he had really dark stress marks in there.
Kinda hard to see him in the tiki there but he is there, the sleeping there is no issue I am just still stressed about the stress marks way dark this morning, also he has been opening his mouth not for long periods of time just a second. what is that?!
He has not moved towards his fresh greens either (his favorite)
I just got it a pet-co and he LOVES it haha I don't know what I will do when he is too big for it (its his basking spot) its his favortie. But I don't know what it is made out of.
I'm wondering about your basking spot temp. The range 90-109 is too large. What is the temp of the surface right where he basks? You should use the probe and leave it there for 45 min to get an accurate reading. Or use a temp gun. The dial wall thermometers are very unaccurate.
I have both the temp gun and probe and they are usually one or two degrees off from each other and when I switched from the 50 to 60 watt it went from being a lil low at 93 ish to 104-109 steady which I think is better no? But I broke that bulb this morning and need to go pick up another one. What do you mean too large of a range? Sometimes I check the temp and it is 90 and sometimes it is 109 and anywhere in between its almost never the same temp.
