HELLO! My name is Mercede and I am a worrier. I need some help with my new baby sulcata. My boyfriend keeps giving me information that he got from the reptile store guy but I keep reading differently.
Right now he is in a 30 gallon glass tank (until I get him a 50 gallon stock tank) I have a 100 w heat bulb that is above his hide (which a log bridge looking one) We were told that it needs to be on for 10-12 hours and then off at night. It gets cold in our house right now (we are in Phoenix area) and I feel like he is getting too cold. Also I don't know how to keep his tank humid other than spraying and that doesn't seem to help too much.
So here are the concerns:
1. Is the 100 watt heating lamp good and for the 10-12 hours.
2. Do I need a CHE for the night time?
3. How can I obtain humidity and keep it?
3. We keep his food on the other side of the heated area if I get a CHE where should I keep his food?
4. Do I need to wet his shell with the sprayer? Or is it preferred to soak him EVERYDAY?
5. Do I need to keep water in his tank?
I did read the different threads but I just felt like I couldn't get the answer I needed. Thank you in advance! <3
