Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ghost" data-source="post: 44786" data-attributes="member: 3461">I keep my T's at around 75-80 temperature range during the day at let them cool down to about 70-73 for night time temps,So if the 21c that you have is a day time temp then you could be doing with it a bit higher as that's about the same as my night time temps,as for the heat pad I don't use them as in my opinion there a waste of time and money,what I do his heat the room with a radiator with thermostat this way you get an ambient air temperature which is far better than just hot spots that you get with heat pads.Now bumping up the temperature might not make a difference to him as there could be any number of reasons for him acting like this and it's just a process of elimination to try and find out what's up with him,but it certainly won't hurt to give him higher temps....</blockquote>
