Posted by: murrindindi at Tue Jan 1 13:32:24 2013 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by murrindindi ] Hi, when you say you put in a larger bulb to increase the surface temp at the basking site, that may well dry out the surrounding air too much. I think a better idea would be to use low wattage (40 to 50w) halogen bulbs (flood, not spot), maybe 2 or 3 in a row, quite close together so they heat the whole body, then either raise/lower the bulbs or basking platform, or fit a dimmer switch `til you get the desired surface temp. The lower wattages means it shouldn`t effect the relatively high humidity levels this species needs (they originate from tropical climes).
