    Update on Toby's tank

    I posted the other day about managing temps, since the glass tank for my baby pastel wasn't getting warm enough. I think it was due to my cold room (it's seriously frigid - and San Francisco only gets colder in the summer), also the fact that glass tanks have an open screen lid. I just couldn't raise it higher than 80/70, even using both the UTH and heat lamp, so I switched him to the well-insulated wooden viv. I put Delilah in the glass one instead, since she lives in my roommate's much warmer room... so far her temps are looking fine, so I think it was a good switch.

    As per the vivarium where I got this wooden tank, I'm only using a heat lamp - no UTH, and the temps are now around 89/74. Still a bit low on the cool side, probably since the lamp is fixed in the right corner. Any suggestions on how to reconfigure that? (picture below) Oh, and I replaced that small hide since he'd already outgrown it, and gave him another cave instead. He's been switching between them all night, and is now happily sleeping in the cool one. Here's how it looks so far... now I just need to find a "basket" for the lamp, spruce up the decor, and possibly re-tape the thermometer wires. Whew, I hope this works!!
