Heat Lamp Needed?

PoohBear03031 Jul 31, 2003 03:05 PM

I am thinking of moving my male out the cage my females are in, hopefully to stimulate breeding. I however don't have another heat lamp right now. I am wondering if he will be alright with just the undertank heater for a while, until I can get the heat lamp. I havn't done it yet, and will not do it until I am sure he will not get sick or anything. I just figured I would ask.

All they need is a UTH they dont even need a heat lamp at all. They come out at night so while your heat lamp is on they are hiding anyways. Hope this helps.

He should be fine. I don't even use heat lamps for my leos. Since they're nocturnal, a UTH is all they really need.
