Current Problem - Eyes closed during the day
I cant use the 40 watt house bulb it wont get hot enough or put off enought light.
He just went to sleep, because the cage was so poorly lit and it was almost as if its night time.
Im gonna go back to the 75 watt and then trim some of the plant so its not so dark on the inside.
