I'm so confused about temps!

I'm not even sure how I would mount inside since the lid is mesh....Also, if i get the tube light, can I still use the same fixture for the basking light?

I just used velcro to hold it up and it isn't going anywhere lol it takes some serious umph for me to get it off. I don't see why you couldn't use the dome with the right halogen bulb for a basking spot

There are all kinds of creative ways to hang the lights on this forum but if you get a T5 (not the T8 that I have) then you could do it on the screen. Just have to measure distances

And your baby is adorable

Thank you and thank you!! We totally love her! It's like having a new baby though...constant worry, always new things and the worst is all of the conflicting info from food, how much to dust/feed and when, etc. :? I use the repti basking spot lamp, is that a good enough one?

Mine's name WAS Thor ? But I have a gut feeling that i have a girl so really we call it velcro because every time we pick it up literally like velcro on our fingers lol It is still really small in our hands

Wow, even tinier than she looked on the tree...adorable, she looks a lot like ours, coloring wise She was quite brown when she was smaller

Yeah and Petsmart tried to tell us it was like 2 months old.... absolutely no way ??

 

[kelliebeth]

That was our problem, we got her from petsmart too. They also told me she would eat 10-15 crickets a day so they're full of it. :lol:

[kelliebeth]

How do I "follow" the thread or keep up with it?

 

[ChristinaMike]

Respond ?? but I don't know how to just follow one like I can other places (so I knew what you meant)

What type of repti sun UVB light should I be looking at, are the brands all pretty comparable?
