I picked up a Fire Sal at a herp expo today. It wasnt an impulse buy, I've read up on them a while ago when I was thinking about getting one before. Anyway, it's set up right now is a 10gal tank with ReptiBark a long shallow water dish and a cave. I plan on losing the reptibark soon. i'll either use BedABeast or unfertilized top soil with shagnum or bedabeast over it. Sound good?
My big question: He circled his tank a good bit and keeps trying to climb the glass. I read that this is symptoms of heat stress. But when I looked up temperatures, one site said 70-75ºF is fine. Another site said to not let it go much over 70º. My room is heated to 75º but it never actually gets that hot. Also, the tank is on the ground level of the shelf, so itll be cooler. The thermometor says its about 68. Do you think its fine and is just getting used to its home? I got worried so I put a couple ice cubes in a ziploc bag and placed it in the tank for it to curl up to if needed. What do you guys think?
