[AdamSkates224]

hello i am wouldering if this is a good setup

calciam dish

water

i dont know how to read this but this is on the cold side of the cage

can u tell me if it is too hot or too cold

Its look like about 80, which is OK. You just want the cool side room temperature, so don't heat it.
You should also get a temperature gauge with a probe so you can get the floor temps. Floor temps are what matters, and can burn a gecko.

There are a few things that should be changed. First, make sure you have a warm dry hide and a humid hide. A humid hide can be made witha tupperware container, and moist paper towel inside. Next, Instead of a heat lamp, I suggest a heat mat or heat tape attached toa thermostat. Also, Make sure to buy the digital thermometer with probe. I suggest an Acu Rite digital thermometer with probe. They can be bought at Walmart or Online for 15.00.

i have a heat mat and a heat lamp. is that too hot?

Yes. You don't need a heat lamp. Leos only need belly heat. Take the heat lamp out.

 

[Baker14]

Depends, you need a digital therm w/ probe tocorrectly measure it. Chances are yes, its too hot.

the heat mat only covers the rock not the whole cage
