Heating question ?

Mizar 21 Mar 30, 2004 05:23 PM

I check my temp today when i came back from work and it was kinda too hot. I will try with a lower wattage bulb but unfortunately i cant go to a shopping center before a couple of days. If i leave only the heat pad under the tank for two or three days, might it be enough ? My enclosure is in the hottest room of the house. It's in my living room and the sun heat that room nicely in the afternoon. Dont worry, no direct sun light hit the enclosure.

that should be fine, just make sure it doesn't get too cold. Where in the cage were you measuring the temps?
