[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 137094, member: 4086"] So. My basking temp is now 157º F. Steady. My cool end is 78º F. I have one 250 watt clamp lamp, pointed directly at a stepped rock basking platform, a completely open top, and ambient room humidity of 60. I'm leaving it right there. I'll spray the cool end occasionaly, see how it works. Of course he'll have a fresh waterdish at all times. I'll be feeding him (a small juvie) every day. His temps will remain constant until he's an adult. I'm basically following Dr's orders. Lmao. [USER=27883]@Tortoise Tom[/USER] I appreciate all the info, I've never doubted you, not once. I'm positive if you post care info, it works. But this Doc seems to be an expert on his native species. I'm commited to following his care.
