Yeah I have changed it already. Currently mist spraying it until we get a more permanent humidity solution.

Yeah I have a timer from yesterday, we have changed the substrate, it's much deeper now and new bowls that suit nice in the soil. The pier no longer looks like a death trap and it will looks alot better It's summer here so night time temps are good but I will look into it for his first winter...

That link didn't work unfortunately. Is it something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0002DIAXO/?tag= Will getting one of these help the daytime heat? Or do you really need to just have the heat come from the light bulb? We have new bits already and are changing the substrate today...

Yeah I've don't a fair amount of extra research today and we have already changed the bowls to terracotta and I'm at Wickes first thing tomorrow for top spoil
