Re: Grow up enclosure for baby savannah

for that size tank, i'd switch out that lamp and put in 2 or 3 GU10 with halogen floods, you can use lower power rating to achieve the same basking temp, without over heating the tank

I'd also move the heat lamp to the other side, this will allow the soil to stay a bit cooler and give a better temperature gradient

tbh he looks like he's only just big enough for that enclosure, it will be a matter of weeks before he needs something bigger, my hatchling went from 5inches, to 18inches, in 4 months, for some time he grew at almost an inch a week - I have to use grown on enclosures aswell because i'm moving soon, but given the choice i wouldnt do it like that again
