Wow thanks for the advice. I'm going to go ahead and get one of those lamps if it contains all of the right heating and lighting in one. As for the hibernation is there any advice you could give me for that. Should I try to see if he will hibernate and if not keep him up through the winter? If so how exactly do I get him to hibernate? When I bought my HL I new absolutely nothing about them. If I did I defiantely would not have put myself in this position but I did and no I want to keep him as healthy as possible. Any advice would help soo much. I can't seem to find anyone that can. Thank you!
