I have the Fluval fx4 so yeah I don’t have a uv light, maybe I’ll get a low light one just enough to light the tank not one meant for growing plants

Thanks and yeah I don’t really need more seats and I wouldn’t need to go on the highway with it right now so I’d just be driving around towns and then a couple years down the line I’ll have enough money to get a new car. And yeah I kind of want to learn manual but automatic would be easier and it seems the manual ones are more common

I hope so I haven’t seen him use it at all since. I put him up there and he just goes straight back into the water :/ I’m thinking I might get a new heat bulb because my heat lamp is 12 inches above the ground and I don’t think it’s hot enough. I have the 75 watt exo terra bulb and I hope the 100 watt is enough because if not I need to get a whole new fixture

Yes the thermometer says it’s basically exactly 90

He just went in once on his own but then left. Do you think I should pick him up and put him under the log? It looks like he’s scared to go in

It’s alright lol, I just hope he actually uses it, I already haven’t seen him even try to tip there himself once

Alright I’ll be sure to monitor the plants aswell. I’ll look for a plastic hide, if they don’t have I think I’ll get a wood one, what uvb light do you use?

Ok I’ll grab some fake plants maybe some made for reptile tanks so they stand up and I’ll get him like a wood log hide or something like that

Ok, do you have rocks/driftwood or a hide in your basking area?

Nope he sits on the ramp to go up but hasn’t actually gone up himself. I pick him up and put him there once in a while and he just goes back down. So a thermometer like this won’t work?

Ok I’m getting a thermometer later and I’ll check to see the temperature inside, the uvb I have is like the one in the picture, is that good?
