RE: question

How do I bring this temperture down - do i change the wattage of the bulb or even lift the bulb higher?

I do appreciate this advise thanks for your time.

gwyneth,
try lifting the bulb higher until the temp. drops to 30/32C.

if that still won't do it, you'll have to change the bulb. to give you an idea I use a 40W bulb for heat, way "lighter" than the one you're using. this also helps with the electrical bill... Tongue

a 60w bulb will certainly help you get the right temp

oh, and you're welcome. I know how daunting it is trying to get everything right...

we've all been there. Wink

RE: question

For the time being - well until my husband can alter the height of the bulb would it be advisible to turn this bulb off.

if you can´t drop the temp for now, I'd probably turn it off...

just an idea: can you move the bulb away from the hide?
maybe that would enable Thomas to move away from it easily

RE: question

Hi my husband has left the bulb in the same area but has highered it. Now the temperture in Thomas' hideout has dropped to 27c and directly under the bulb is 32c. What do you think? Is this more acceptable?

RE: question

Thomas has just come out of his hide out HOORAY!. I have noticed that his neck is inflating in and out alot. Is this natural and i havent noticed it before or could this be a result of the situation if so will it rectify itself?

RE: question

yes, that's normal behaviour.
I expect everything should steadily go to normal. Cool
