Hi, I’m having a hard time heating an enclosure for my future hatchling. Aprox 4mo. I have a 7.9l click clack and keeping a consistent temp in there is proving hard, as well as finding something that will support providing the heat.
I currently have a lamp that is only for max 25w, so I need to buy even more things to hold the che over it. The room temp drops far too much overnight and the enclosure becomes too cold. Even during the day, but not as much.
I had a mat but it was even worse, so I returned that.
I have a couple thin sheets of packing foam around the underside, back and half over the top but I doubt it’s doing much.
Is there anything else I can do or use to hold the heat in? Would putting this tub into a 25l, covered/dark tub help with the lamp over it? Maybe put a little hole into the smaller tub so she can move away from the temp in the small enclosure.
This is getting so frustrating.
