You're right about which one to choose.
He's so photogenic.

Really struggling at the moment
Spuds lamp won't get hotter than 25 degrees!
I read that it's meant to be at least 12" from their shell and it is!

Is it okay to lower it for a day? I don't want to hurt his eyes!
Also he has tried to bite his leg a couple of times. What does this mean?

I'm going to put plexiglass over it hopefully tonight (my dad said he'll do it for me)

Please help!!!!!!

I'm going to my grandads on Friday and he has built many vivariums (for snakes) and I'm gunna try and hint and hopefully he'll help me build one

You could get a higher wattage bulb

 

[spud's_mum]

You could get a higher wattage bulb

It's an 120w bulb
I really hope the plexi glass works! But that's not until tonight

 

[spud's_mum]

Hmmm... Looks comfortable (not)
And this is how he basks ;D

 

[spud's_mum]

and then he woke up and gave me the death stare

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

One day more isn't going to make much difference.
If you do lower the lamp measure the temps very carefully and don't lower it too far.
Bulbs don't last forever, how long have you had this one?
it probably needs replacing.

Your probably right.
I've had it 6 months.
I'll beg my dad to take me to the pet shop

 

[spud's_mum]

There's a pet shop within walking distance to me actually! I'll see if they'll give me the money.
I hope they have that bulb!
