I've just bought my gecko yesterday and so far he's pooped and walked on the warm and cool side. I haven't seen him use the moist hide, a cup filled with moist paper towels, despite having stuck shed on his neck. I haven't seen him drink either (big dish) and was wondering if he'd even noticed it. My main concern is the uth under the rock. The probe on my Zilla analog thermostat is more for air and not the floor as I've come to realize. The warm side is 81F according to my thermometers and the cool side is 75.7F. If I put my hand on the glass floor it's hot enough to feel uncomfy but not burn. If I put it on the reptile carpet it's slightly warmer than my hand that's a already warm and sweaty. The floor of his rock is warm too. Is this warm enough? I'm scared to crank up the heat and crack the aquarium glass but I know hot spots should be in the nineties. I just want Steve happy and healthy.
