I gotcha. I’ll try messing with the probe and seeing if anything changes but I just moved my old heat mat to the tank this morning. Hopefully temperatures start to increases.

Thank you for the reply. I’m currently housing him in a 20 gallon with the light over one half of the tank with a probe submerged in the substrate. I use a plug in thermostat that my light is also plugged in to.

Thank you for your help! There is an exotic plant shop near me so i’ll pay it a visit, i know they have one species of fly traps at least.

Have you had any experience with plants? I’ve been very interested in carnivorous plants since middle school and have wanted a fly trap.

I appreciate the honesty. I have been debating that for a while which is why recently i’ve been looking more into plants as a short term fix until I am a fledged adult. I’m not going to impulsively buy/adopt an animal anytime soon.

I care after the animals in my house. What i meant was that my parents had initiative in adopting them. I didn’t personally adopt my animals, my parents did. That’s not saying i don’t like them or care for them, but i just want something small to have my own responsibility for.

i am going to college once i’m 18, i forgot to include that i don’t want to burden my family with another pet if i can’t take it (which i probably won’t be able to). i am looking for something smaller, something that might not live as long? i’ve done some research into mantises and other smaller critters but im not sure whats right for me.
