Heating schedule

[Wildwilson]

Hey everyone, so I have a baby female panther. Just a little over a month old now. I am wondering what yoyr reccomdations would be as far as hours to leave the heat light on, or just to leave it on all the time. I live in Colorado so it's getting pretty cold here. But I run the heater inside my house throughout the day. Right now I have my Cham in a 10 gallon terrarium, glass. I am waiting on a 24 by 24 by 36 screen enclosure to get here this week. Right now her basking spot bounces between 85 and 90. Other parts of the terrarium are at 70 to 75. Thanks for your help as I am still learning about these amazing creatures.

Temps look good. You do not need an over night heater unless it starts dropping below 50. I would just be very careful with that small of a cage and a heat bulb. If i was in that situation i would just be using a normal incandescent house bulb, no spot lights, reflectors, etc. Just have a hot side of the tank that is 85-90f, and a cool side that is 70-75.
