new baby setup

[imcurt]

Here's my new baby setup,any coments on mistking times&duration
I'm running A 36" reptisun 5.0 over both bins,and A clear 40watt basking bulb for each bin.The basking light is set for 2hrs A day.I have A fish aquarium in the room the night room temp is 64-66deg

What's your hottest basking temp?

 

[imcurt]

Its 78-81deg now.I started with A 60watt it was just at 90deg. So I went to the 40 and raised the light up just A little.Do you have A mistking?I just got mine. I dont want to over do it on the water.I was wanting to know the durations that works for others on baby panthers?I have it set for 45 sec 15 min after the lights come on The 2nd shot 2.5 hrs later for 45 sec. then it runs for 1min45 sec about noon.then 45 sec at 2:30. and the last spray of 45 sec at 5:00 . thanks curt

baby set up

Looks like you have the right idea.. I have my mist king set on a seconds. Timer.. goes every 2 hrs for 10-15 sec.. one Mister head per container... I'd also do your light just a Tad longer..

hi Curt, I thnk you should probably have only a 10-15 second mist at most for babies. They can aspirate easily on large drops of water. I only hand mist the baby bins and dont even run a drip on them for this reason. I hand mist them 3-5 times a day with a fine mist from a bottle and try not to spray them directly. JMO.
