    Basking area temp not hot enough

    Basking area temp not hot enough

    I am having trouble locating any that are incandescent, daylight, and flood style. Is soft white ok in a pinch? I just searched amazon and Lowes Hardware, and Lowes has nothing at all :(

    Basking area temp not hot enough

    We have a fluorescent basking bulb that in the beginning (late August) was keeping her basking area at 95ish degrees. Now, its not heating up above 80 degrees. The bulb seems to be working fine and is not blown. I've used two different thermometers, and both say the same temps. What should...

    Calcium powder

    We try to add calcium powder at least every other days our baby sulcata's greens, but she eats around the powder. Ideas on what I can do to help this? We don't overdo it and I try to spread it around, but it's not working too well.

    Sulcata hatchling sleep patterns

    Well I had them set for earlier but she was tucked away before I got home from work and could soak her and spend some time with her. That’s why I reset them for 9 AM to 8 PM, but she never makes it till 8 PM. She always goes in her humid height earlier than that. I will try resetting them for...

    Sulcata hatchling sleep patterns

    This kiddo is about 2ish months old and her basking and daylight bulbs come on at 9am. At this time she saunters out from her humid hideout to start her day. She is active all day until around 5pm. We also had the Arcadia T5 bulb that we turn in for about 2 hours a day along with a CHE that...

    Safe for sulcata?

    Are any of these safe to feed our sulcata in moderation? They are from spring so fertilizer has dissipated. Calibrachoa, French marigold, and I’m not sure what the weed is… we’re in North Carolina. We also have petunias with flowers still.
