im sure you have but in experience they are not to keen on sudden peaks or drops of temperature so just try to keep it gradual. im sure an expert will answer you soon though

Yes you are definitely doing the right thing in keeping them warmer, these are tropical creatures and are not happy at all if they get cold. Good luck with the thermometer!! show us a pic and perhaps we can help you with it.  val |
