Just finalised my setup for my Ackie enclosure. Should be getting the little guys in the next week or so depending on the seller.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Took me ages to get the temps sorted. Floodlight made the basking spot way too hot in just a small spot, and didnt have any other globes powerful enough. 100 watt reflector seems to do the job, though it is about 10-12cm away from the spot. Is that ok you reckon? Do ackies have a tendency to jump on to hot objects? :lol:
Ps. the temp on the thermometer in the pic is not right, the probe was sitting on the ground or something, not on the hot spot. Rockin the hot spot at about 62 degrees
Cheers,
James
