At the moment, Dahlia has only a red heat bulb (that I stole from my leopard gecko) because her UTH was running amuck and I thought 100+ degrees was WAY too hot for her....
She doesn't seem to mind the light, and I've been monitoring the temps- normally around 86 or so on the warm side and in the mid 70s on the cool side, which I read was a good range....
But since she ate (on Sunday), she's been mostly hanging out on her long which I've since moved a little and she hangs out on the log, wedged up against the glass, is it because she's needing more warmth that she stays up there? I get paid on Friday and plan on getting her a proper UTH with a way to regulate the temps to where I need them, but will she continue to enjoying climbing and being warm? Should I leave the light? I'm just afraid I'm doing something wrong :awcrap:
(as for the picture, she is kind of laying like that, wedged up between the glass and the wood, only curled up a lot more)
