i did a hell of alot of research before getting one but you can always learn more! :) im just paranoid haha i dont want him cold in the day as ive put him in a bigger tank. ideally i would like the tank ambient temp about 24-25c then basking at 30-33c. basking is ok but the lower half of my tank...

as low as 50f? :eek: thats quite cold? haha my aim was to keep it about 18-20c. think ill need another heat source to warm up the tank anyway because the basking heat doesnt heat much of the tank up. but think ill get something to heat my room up that way we both benefit ;) thank you
