Not sure if that means he is...

    yesterday was 5 dubias, hes kinda crazy, he grabbed at #6, and it got loose, he grabbed at another one for #6, it got loose, he lost interest in even trying for anything else after that.

    So, since he is 'hiding' in the shirt at night, and that area is around 70deg, is there any reason to leave the heat lamp on overnight, since the terrarium stays at close to 70deg without it, it seems that is just maintaining a 99deg spot for no reason, seems a waste of energy, should I just...

    I got a 125 white heat lamp from Home Depot, I put that in and removed the work light, that light is keeping it about 90, I'll change it to the 250 red heat lamp I got and see where that takes it tomorrow, the 100 watt was barely keeping the bask zone above room temp (which is probably about 65...

    any thoughts on getting some humidity in there, i had a halogen work light that i put next to his house, now its 100 degrees or more in some areas, but it sure killed humidity, i'll have to spray it down to get some of it back, but at that temp it will dry up quite quick again i'm sure. how the...

    from all i read, 40g was good for hatchling, and thats pretty much the largest available for purchase at most places around here. I'll probably help my son build something. kinda weird, looking at some setups, it seems the 100w ZooMed should be getting it to 100 degrees at that distance
