Cage Type - Reptibreeze - mesh - 16x16x30
Lighting - one 15 watt reptiglow - 5.O UVB and one 26 watt reptiglow- 5.0 UVB
Temperature - Range: 68 - 85 Lowest overnight temp: 64 measured using instant read thermometer
Humidity - Humidity: 60% Maintained using an automatic mister, measured with a hygrometer.
Plants - 2 pachira trees, one croton.
Placement - Top of the cage is 4 feet off the floor
Location - California
Current Problem -
I have a reptibreeze and I'm having trouble keeping the terrarium hot. My room never gets colder than 64 during the day. Currently, the temperature at the very bottom of the terrarium is somewhere between 66 and 68, the middle of the terrarium is between 69 and 71, the upper third is barely 75, and I have a basking spot at 83. I understand that this is too cold, and I'm using two, 100 watt basking bulbs, but I can't seem to get the temperature up. Humidity is also a minor issue.
Another question- should I keep one of the basking bulbs on at night? My room is usually around 65 during the nighttime.
Thank you!
