I'll unplug the light now and get another heat pad tomorrow. Where can I buy a Rheostat?? The cage has only risen to 90 degrees one time (and that was only on the very far end - her favorite hide box is at the other end and hasn't risen above 85), because the room itself got hot. On hot days, I unplug the light (and I unplugged the heat pad, when I was using that) because the room itself gets up to nearly 80 on it's own in summer time. It is not a light producing bulb. It's a red bulb that gives off no light at all. That's why I'm able to leave it on even at night without disturbing her. It's very low wattage. But on hot days, that one corner can get too warm (which is why I wanted a thermostat..) So I'll stop using it.
The cage substrate is always moist, and she's always got water. So I'm not too worried about dehydration. The fogger is good, but like I said, uses all of it's water too fast. I think I'll get the TropicAire mister. I was deciding between that and this when I bought this, so I'll exchange it.
Thanks for all the info. This is my first BRB, and I don't know anyone with them, so everything I'm trying to learn is just from people online. There is not much information about them in books or even from experienced herp people around here.
