Substrate temperature?

[RiNiKy506]

My reply really didn’t help you with your question either, I’ve never really thought of what the sub temp would be. I would maybe drop the temperature on your space heater a degree every day until it stops heating to gradually turn it off. I don’t think they need the sub heated but like Aussie said, some people do put the ultratherm under sub level to give a warmer area for them to go to. As long as it’s not too cold in the room they’re in, I don’t think it would be too cold to where it would effect them.

A few degrees of change isn't going to make a huge impact. When you get up to around a 10 degree difference then it gets iffy, as I have found that mine do choose where to molt based on temps and I personally do everything possible to prevent wild swings.

Great info! I’ll ween them off the space heater keeping an eye on soil temp. As air temp is steady



Edit: before bed I added a sheet of insulation board covering the entire glass on the back. Soil temp jumped up near 80!!! Over night. I turned the space heater down even more and repositioned it as I think it was heating directly under the tank. Looks like I might be able to turn it off completely if I keep tinkering.

Thanks again everyone!
