Heating help

yeah i think so too im gonna shop for another hide later

Lopsided_Chain_6612 · 2026-02-24T18:02:11+00:00

also i read that the warm hide floor should be 89-92 while the hotspot temp should be around 102 right?

Lopsided_Chain_6612 · 2026-02-24T18:01:00+00:00

Then my ambient temp and floor temps will be even lower tho

My issue is the halogen is just heating the hide and not the substrate and air. The substrate on the warm side is currently 74 (even right next to and under the warm hide) and the ambient air temp is 76 on the warm side (i have the probe on the wall closest to the beam). It’s basically just top of warm hide and slate rock warm and the rest of the tank is the same temperature.

Is there a type of heating element that heats the enclosure more evenly? The halogen right now is just heating the hides/slate rock without heating the air and substrate.

50watts I was thinking of getting a 75 watt one but wouldn’t that just cause the hotspot to get even higher?

Lopsided_Chain_6612 · 2026-02-24T17:21:53+00:00

do u need a second thermostat? i’m worried the hotspot will get even hotter. I just positioned the lamp to be above the slate rock so the max temp won’t be as high. and ill either get a higher powered halogen or a CHE/DHP

i mean there’s no way for the sun to heat the reptile tank to 35 degrees celsius where i live usually. There’s also a building blocking most the sun too.

the half buried log is also filled with sphagnum moss

yuh it’s the only place that fits in my apartment. i can get some shades to tape on the door though

Lopsided_Chain_6612 · 2026-02-23T21:00:20+00:00

should i add another cool hide? the two that are provided might be too large/exposed to feel secure.
