Sorry I keep jumping on here folks, some of her stuff is on January sale so trying to get as much input before placing all the orders😊question in regard to CHE, I believe we’ll be switching to just using those for her heat as opposed to a floodlight during the day, we currently already have a 150w and a 100w, we were going to be placing the 150w in her ‘warmer’ end and the 100w near the middle, im wondering if we need a potential 3rd bulb for her ‘cooler’ end, or would that defeat the purpose?😂just wouldn’t want it too cool obviously, so would we be better making that a 60 or another 100w? Idk if it’s overkill? Is that 150 also maybe better being a 100? I know people say about not necessarily needing a ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ end for red foots, but I’m conscious her owner is used to her having a gradient, that, and if we were keeping her temps constant without a drop, she’ll need a ‘cooler’ end no?
Her owner is still really nervous about not mimicking a slight night drop, which is then making me nervous too😂all the night&day thermostats I look at have mixed reviews, would it work to just use the current 600 one we have? if so, could he just turn that down ever so slightly each night if he wants ‘night’ temps? Hope that all makes sense and you can make head or tail of my little attempt at a diagram haha😂
feel free to chime in on the probe placement and uv too! Though no rush there, more trying to get advice on what watt CHE’s I should be considering
Wondering if it’s worth going with a similar heat set up to her current one as it works, hopefully it’d translate into the new, if that were the case, I’d be thinking bulb A and B both being 100 and putting the 60w floodlight near bulb A, creating that warmer end during the day, then when it shuts off, it’ll mimic that drop he wants? Think I’d just be a bit worried about the cool end getting too cool with nothing there, but maybe that middle 100 would take care of that no probs, idk, thoughts?
