this is my first reptile ever. I read everything I could on them before I purchased and felt like this was a right choice for me. I started buying everything I would need around Christmas time and received my a.f.t the end of January since purchasing him cannot regulate the heat in his enclosure. I have purchase everything the pet store as suggested but nothing has worked
29 gal tank- changed to a 20
under tank heat pad changed twice thinking it was defective and went to a smaller size
rheostat
reptile temp thermostat
eco earth
reptile carpet
digital thermometer probe under substrate/ probe on substrate
no matter what I try I cannot get the heat below 96 most times it stays around 98
I'm starting to think I might not be a reptile owner
right now I sit by the enclosure and every 30min switch off/on the heat pad
I thought reptile keeping was going to be less complicated
