    Thank you! I have the 250 watt as well. I have experience with reptiles and was hoping I could use a lower watt.

    Temperature issues

    We used to have a blue tongued skink that we absolutely loved but ended up rehoming because we weren't able to give him the attention he needed, (as in holding, playing with) but if I remember correctly he was pretty easy to keep.!
