I’ve started to let him soak everyday in warm water in a Tupperware... I use one of those plastic syringes from Publix to slowly squirt water down is his head and back... he closes his eyes and seems to enjoy it... he’s got skin all over the tank which I need to clean out.
he did at one point do...
I’m trying to make sure I have this right... here’s the light setup from the side. I have those UVB cards that glow when you put them under the UVB light... they are faint but they glow... so idk if he’s getting enough light or not. My digital temp probe says mid 80s but I used my infrared temp...
I whipped up some small brackets out of some scrap wood laying around and painted them black to match and secured them to the screen surround.
with all the people saying how powerful t5s are I didn’t feel comfortable with my initial mounting inside the tank.
will this be a good setup? The tank...
It’s a t5.
I was mentioning his eyes bc I read people said that was a sign of too much uvb.
I have a digital probe and it’s in the first picture and I included a picture where the probe is in the hammock
Here’s some pictures as well. One is of the temp sensor I have plugged in line for the heat lamp so if we’re not home it doesn’t fry him. It doesn’t seem to read as accurately as I’d hope.
I included a picture of the probe within the net to show its placement.
also I took a reading at the same...
Here’s some different pictures. I think with me messing with the tank is stressing with him but I want to get it done right.
He doesn’t seem to be closing his eyes from the uvb.
I bought some 150w basking bulbs bc I was just using the 100w before but it seems the 150w basking is too much.
Idk where I read it but I though juvies needed 110 basking... his rough hatch date is early October late September.
the tank is 36x18x18.
New light came in... the 150w seemed like overkill... so I think I’ll just stick with 100w... I was able to mount the reptisun inside the tank... here’s a picture of the distance from the light to his head... he’s not sitting straight up and his net in the corner is about the same height. If the...
I’ve been reading on the sun blaster... it seems it’ll be too powerful to mount inside... so it may have to go on top of the screen... we have a cat as well so the screen needs to stay.
it doesnt seem with the reflector on it’ll sit correctly on top of the screen.
from the bottom of the screen...
I’m going to ditch the mercury vapor bulb Sunday when the reptisun long tube comes in and I’ll just use the 100w basking bulb that came with the kit. I’m starting to look for some higher bulbs than 100w bc with the cold winter in Florida, 100w doesn’t seem to be sufficient.
I also have a...
