See I am confused. Basking temp in the low 80's and then basking temps at 87 not warm enough? The logic behind fluxlizard's comment makes sense to me, however I am afraid that I will burn him with the basking light if I up the wattage.
What would you advise. I was thinking about providing a...
I have a 3 month Veiled is the same room as my 2 month panther.
I have had my veiled for a month and I have had my panther since 2 weeks after he was born.

This in combination with wrapping your cage with a...

Also, the no-cup thing really worked too.
After he ate all the crickets Hubble was sitting under...
Thanks! He seems to like it too. haha. That sounds like a good plan. It wont trigger a hunger strike right?
Thank you both. I will do so.

Hopefully...
