I've noticed recently that my RF has started spending a bit more time in the hide box. I'm wondering if its the temperature. She eats just fine in the morning but, but immediately makes her way to her hiding spot when she's done. She doesn't really come out, I've been physically putting her in front of the food. I'm gone most days so I'm not really sure how much she comes out during the day.
I run a mercury vapor bulb for 12 hours. The hot spot is about 90 and varies from the high 70s to high 80s on that side. I have a little heating pad on the other end where she hides that stays around 85(surface temp). But I can't seem to keep much heat over there with just the bulb. The ambient temp reads in the low 70s when the bulb is on and low 60s when its off.
Sorry for the long post but is there anything y'all would reccommend to get the temp up? I just ordered a little ceramic heat emitter, I just have to figure out how to mount it up. This is the enclosure I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZK5YGS/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
Right now I do have it sitting by a window. Maybe the cold window is sucking some of the heat out? Anyway I was hoping to get some of y'alls thoughts.
