I have researched so much and still am not 100% sure about lighting.
We are getting a red foot hatchling next week, we will set it up in a temporary 20 gallon terrarium which is a 2x1x1 i think (yes it’s small but the breeder actually recommended this for a temporary enclosure)
i know that i would need a che and a uvb light.
i bought a 100w che, still trying to find a lamp fixture for it, i notice people saying set it on a thermostat and i can’t seem to figure out what that means.
for the uvb, what wattage should i buy? i am leaning towards a vertical one but not sure about the wattage and how i’ll set it up.
do they need any extra lights? i don’t want it to be too hot for it
i’m new to all of this and want to make sure everything is ready before we even get it.. so any advice is appreciated. thank you and if anyone can recommend lamp fixtures as well
