Well, I've now got perfect basking temp 27°C/80°F. General temp 24°C/75°F and 45% daytime humidity, nighttime around 75%.
I've been looking at foggers, not overly struck on their set up. I'd rather pay extra for the Reptifogger. I like the idea of the fog descending downwards into the...
I never seen Hammy drink. Ive seen Figaro's urates and they're very white. I've been told, they're secret drinkers lol!
What's the difference between fogging and misting. Currently i mist a few times a day. Still not getting over 75% humidity, day or night!
I'm going to raise the Arcadia 100w halogen bulb later. It was too hot at the cage level at 36°C. Its a much more superior light than the one I'm using. As long as its around the 28/29 that's the main achievement.
Here's both the door issue, hard to make out the slight gap. Also my new set up from yesterday. I'm pleased, as it was my first attempt with a mesh enclosure.
The bottom door inadvertently opened and quite a bit of compost fell out. It was perfect before the incident. Ive a feeling, that some soil is stopping the overall closure and slight gap in the door issue!
I think I'll replace the current bulb with the Arcadia 100w halogen bulb, in order to raise the temperature. I'll use something to raise the light a few inches higher up. Hopefully that'll work. I noticed this morning, he'd his mouth open, just before he moved away.
Hiya
I'm not actually going to be using a fogger. I'm bed bound so i can mist any time day or night. I haven't left the house since January 16th! Mobility issues unfortunately ?
Please see attached photo of the enclosure reading. Every thermometer gives a slightly different reading! Bizarre...
Just checking, if anyone uses additional heat in their mesh enclosure? My temp is a steady 23°C. Figaro has been basking under his heat bulb quite a bit today.
I've heard some use a heat mat, but i didn't think that was ever necessary.
My final point... How on earth can bring wires, leads...
Ive a 100w halogen bulb 12 inches from Figaro's back. It cannot be altered in height. After trying the thermometer underneath it, it went up to a mighty 35°C/95°F. Of course i realise thats too high, therefore I'll try a wattage bulb around 75w or 50w to bring it down.
The overall temperature...
