what are your temps in that setup? daytime highs and lows, including basking spot? nighttime drop, the coldest point?



i ask because visually i see worries



i see you are using a "dirtish" substrate, but the heat and lights are hard to make out. the substrate looks moist, but i don't "see" enough heat. ya know?



i would definitely suggest a larger, wider basking spot, perhaps consider using the basking stacks.



anyway, the "fluffy" dirt worries me because the whole point behind the success of our setup (moister substrates and all) is proper temps and basking access. if the animal is in a moist substrate, but with less than ideal heating, i think that could definitely cause a problem.



i could be completely wrong (maybe it is a dry fluff ), because i am only judging visually, so i am hoping everything is great, but just from experience, and seeing what i see in that picture, i worry that it is TOO moist, with NOT ENOUGH basking area, and NOT HIGH ENOUGH heat.



any feedback?



boy, i hope this post made a little bit of sense!
