Ed,
I'll measure the burrow temps tomorrow. The ambient stays surprisingly cool with very little ventilation and a 33 watt fluorescent/100 watt mvb combo. My guess is that the dirt absorbs a lot of the heat. I covered the vent you see in the picture with a shirt today and left it there and the ambient only went to low 80's on the cool side. The basking spot is 120 however because it is very close to the bulb.
Nebu is somewhat of an enigma to me as far as health goes. He seems like he is doing great: eats well, is active, has a good personality and does not seem to stress easily. That being said he is still so small. I think he's only about 35 grams and 11 months old. His fecals came back clean...I don't know. His temps were a bit low for a few months when I first had him and he ended up sleeping more than normal. He has definitely picked up his activity level and eating lately since I've bumped up his ambient temps a bit. Hopefully he'll start putting on some weight.
Peter
