Here's a newbie's stupid question - "Ventilation?" Temp no higher than 88? (That's two questions, right?) One side of the tank is between 90 and 100, and the "cool" side of the tank is usually between 85 and 90 degrees. Some days they will bury in the cool side, and some days they will bury in the hot side. Many times I find them just about in the center of the tank by the edge. I think that when summer comes, and things get quite hot around here, I will raise the heat bulb a few inches and not have the heat so focused. Am looking very forward to my son's visit this summer when we can build them a nice enclosure for some outside time in the summer.
No question is stupid when it comes to our animals. You keeping it in a tank so Im guessing there is a screen on top. The domes should never be so close. It can cause slow burn on top of the shell.
