    New bulb = high temps. suggestions?

    Just got a new Mvb for our little Dalmation, and temps are soaring on the warm side. 72 on the cool end, but 104 on the warm side. Too hot for our hermanni?? Night time temps usually hover around 67 in our house - but never below 65. What can I do to cool it off in there?

    I've had my Leo 3 weeks now. I'm wondering how often, everyone changes the substrate in their enclosed habitats? Obviously, my first tortie...
