Maintaining Hog Island Temps
Hey,
I've recently purchased a Hog Island that just arrived the other day. I had everything I needed set up before hand and was ready to go. Unfortunately I had to make a last minute change on the enclosure and use my backup RUB. Since then I've been having some issues maintaining temps and could use some tips. I'm currently using a ceramic heater (100W) and my basking spot is between 87-85 and the cool end is low 80s to as low as 78. I'm a little concerned because I'd like to hover around that 90 mark. Am I being a little too obsessive with the temps or should what I'm at now be acceptable? I feel like I'm really close to where I need to be but I'm concerned with how much heat I should put on the plastic. I've considered flex watt or an UTH but don't have much experience with them as my main enclosure has always been wood and I found them unreliable. Should I just buy a low watt UTH to bring the temps up or what?
Also this is only temporary I just need to have my homemade wooden enclosure patched up and she'll be in a new home.
