equipment/ general care for Trioceros hoehnelii

[vonken]

hey!

just got this amazing Trioceros hoehnelii! i have him in a screen cage (16×16×30 inch) with a repti glo 5.0 compact bulb around 6-7inch above the roof. and i spray it 2-3 times a day

i have a couple of questions reguarding equipment and care for these amazing animals:

1: from what i can understand the Trioceros hoehnelii dosent like heat, my temps is 20-23 C during the day and drop at night time around 16-17 C, is this temps ok or do i need more heat?

2. is the compact repti glo 5.0 enough? i have allso read that the compact bulbs can cuz eyeproblems? i have a solar raptor hid (70w) but i guess that its waaaaaay to strong/ to hot even at long distence

3. i feel that the botom area of the cage is to dark, can i put in a smal cheap led panel? or is it a big no no? :/

thanks in advance

He's got stunning colouration, I hope someone can give some advice for you.

He is super cute! They want to bask a lot. I think they want higher daytime temps than you are giving them but like the low night temps. I had a small group of them for awhile, but I didn't think I gave them what they wanted, so don't rely too heavily on my advice.
