Thanks! I will get a light on him, but I assume the upper 80s to 90 degree temps is daytime? What is the best way to accomplish the high end temps? I can either go with UTHs or lights or both.

The setup he came with is a ten gal with an under tank heater. He rarely had an overhead heat source. He is on bark that I will toss ASAP because it smells like urine. He has been fed only crix, and I understand that they need some veg/fruit matter?

So, what is the best substrate? Do they need any UV? What are the best day AND night temp gradients?

I will likely put him up for adoption as soon as I make sure he is healthy and is eating a proper diet. But I need to set him up properly to do that. Thanks so much for any advice!
