You really would be better off with some sort of tank heating, UTH would be the best way to go. A dimmer at the least, but a thermostat would be a better way to control substrate temps. Temps at the high end should be in the mid 80's and mid 70's at the low end. Most Mole and Prairie kings like to burrow (at least mine do/have) so some exta substrate would be nice!

1 escaped, 1 dehydrated as I gave her a shallow dish the clucth prior she laid in the water instead of nest box. I didn't check on her for 2 days because I went away came back she was dead & the eggs dried. I have to get some females & breed them again.
