Good morning guys,
So I've had Rami for a little over a week. Loos like his appetite is a killer! He ate 18 roaches in one sitting for dinner! They're fair small with some larger smalls in there; but still 18!!!
My question is about heat. I have a 100 or 125 bulb in his heat lamp right now. I've been taking temps with my heat gun. But I'm worried there isn't a good graduate. Tomorrow I'm going to try a 75 watt.
Hot side temps rang from
99 to 123
Warm side and "cool" side range between
90 and 80ish.
At night when there's no lights it's drops down to 78 - 75 usually.
I feel like im cooking him during the day though! However he's never on his cool side, he's always basking, never in any hide. But he's usually hanging around the areas where it's in the 90s, never much hotter than that.
But still I feel like there should be a better gradient. What do you guys think?
