Temp and Humidity & Fluffy

 

last night I went to pet smart to get the last (I hope) of the things I needed for Fluffy I have added a fogger by ZooMed, more vines to climb on, more greenery, (you could get your greenery from a craft store if they use non-toxic chemicals). In Iowa I would have to say Pet Smart has the best selection for reptile, HANDS DOWN. Now keep in mind I did not get any information from their employees, nor did I ask. And that is only my opinion!!!  If u live in Des moines Iowa and you have had problems with Pet Smart and you are a Petco fan I do suggest that you go to the Jordan Creek store and ask for Daniel, he works during the day, he knows his stuff. If he don't he will tell you and not make it up like the other guy that works in the Reptile dept.

Temp. and Humidity
Today I had to work so I was not able to monitor it all day but tonight I did some fine tuning, and still have to work at it, but at this point I'm still not sure how high the humidity level should be? (Tomorrow Fluffy will go to the vet, and at that time I will ask the vet at that point)
I'm having some problems I cant get the temp past 90 degrees. fluffy is in a 30gallon tank, with two 100 watt heat lamps, and a full spectrum light during the day. Also a black heat lamp at night, and a 30 gallon under tank heating mat. I'm starting to think that it could be the temp gage. not sure.  tonight the temp is at 80 degrees, which is good i think. The temp should never get below 70 degrees!!!  (that information came from the petco web site.) So take it for what it is worth.  Like I said, I will have more true information for a reptile vet.

And now more on Fluffy
He didn't move much till I got home from work.  When I got  from work I held Fluffy. He did his thing for and hour then he climb up. He has been there all night . He turns his head and looks around a lot. My guess is that he is still getting use to his home. He has not jumped in the water but is enjoying the mist hitting his body.
