I picked up my iguana yesterday and had a couple of questions.
I am a worry wart. Her large enclosure won't be ready until
the middle of next week so I have her in a large dog crate with
a shelf built in and a 75 basking bulb and UVB over this area.
The area is about 90 degrees. At one end I have another fixture
with a 100 watt red bulb. Under the basking board is a heating
pad which I use at night. It gets to about 80-82 degrees. The
room is 70-74 degrees as it has turned cool here. With the
wire cage it is impossible to keep an ambient temp of 80 degrees.
Will she be OK until the new enclosure is complete? Is there
any way to raise the temp without using any more heat lamps?
She has not really been on her basking area this morning but
is very active and ate a few bites of kiwi. Should I assume
due to her behavior that she is warm enough? Oh yeah, she is
climbing all over the cage so at least I know she has some
climbing ability.
Thanks
