Hi, I just picked one up and need a few reassurances from you guys. Its in a large critter cage with 4 inches of sand, a log to climb and hide under, a shallow water dish and small pot submerged halfway beneath the sand for a retreat.
What is the humidity to be kept at?
And, seeing as it is from the desert, do I use my larger heating mat to heat the entire tank, or my smaller one and just keep it on one side of the tank so the other side is cooler? And do I leave the heating mat on all night? (I live in Canada, and I keep the tank in the basement so it gets pretty cold at night)
Also, do these guys need a UV light for the daytime or is a well lit room fine?
Thanks,
Jesse
