ok i moved my diamond baby into his 2 foot cage from the little critter cage and i'm trying to work out which are the best globes for heating it. we bought some globes from where we bought the cage and they're totally crap...they're blue except for the top of the neck and it's letting too much light in i think cos he's been in his hide a fair bit even at night when he's usually out. i was gonna go buy some of those proper night light ones but they all come in different wattages and i wouldn't have a clue which one to get for our size cage. also the temp gradient isn't exactly working to plan cos i put the thermostat (which is on the same side as the globes but further back) at 28 degrees and the thermometer tells me it's 32 degrees on the cool side...then i turned the thermostat down to 25 to see what would happen and the thermometer still said about 30 on the cool side but putting my hand in there it doesn't feel as warm as the thermometer says...
i'm confused :?
oh and if i put my hand under the two 40W globes it's not all that warm...dunno if that's relevant.
anyway jules just ate yesterday so he's happy in his hide at the warm end so i'm not too worried for now but any help would be most appreciated
