Hi , my name is Michelle . Im new to this forum and im looking for some help on getting the temp right in my tank. My girl Honey Ryuu is about 1 1/2 yrs old. Heres a run down of what i've got ...
40 g breeder tank , reptisun hood with a reptisun 10 uvb fluo. tube ( on top of screen, I now know it should be mounted inside but its to big and i spent alot of money on it so i want to use it a little longer) . I just recently got a digital prob thermometer / hygrometer. First the humidity is reading 10% should this be higher ? My real problem is the heating , i've used reptisun and exo terra basking bulbs 100 watt and my temps are 115- 116 way to high she wasnt staying on her basking spot. So i im now trying a reptisun basking 75 watt and its reading 105 - 106 . Id like to have it about 100. Should i try a 50 watt ? I also wanted to try the halogen flood light but dont know what kind to buy. Ive looked at them and some of them have a coil bulb inside , i think it was a GE brand Some advice would be great, thanks.
