Question
QUESTION: hey
this is a reply to a previous question that had too many follow ups,
yes they are right beside eachother,
and is Acurite the brand name?
and i have bought a white light now so both of them have it
also is there a certain place you recomend to buy incubators?
i know its going to be a couple years, and not even sure if i have male and female, and i have lots of research to do
but i was just wondering where to get one for the future
or if there is a cheaper but safe way to do it,
it would kill me if i started and something went wrong
just want to ake sure i do it right!
thanks again

ANSWER: Hello Brian,

Yes, when you get too many followups, it has you start a new question.
Good the UVB light & the basking light are beside each other, that will be fine for now.  How do they like their new bright light you got them?  Are you using a household lightbulb or a halogen?
Yes, the brand of the digital probe at Walmart is the Acurite brand name, correct.
Try this site for a good incubator/hovabator:

Yes, there is a good amount of research to do before ever breeding.  If you do decide to breed, keep in touch.  I would like to see you test for Adenovirus, as well.

Answer
Hello Brian,

Oh, I LOVE halogens, they just get hot.  They are very bright & have a nice white spectrum for them for the basking area.  They should last a long time too, before burning out.  I think you have a handle on things now.  If you need anything, just let me know.  :-)  You know where to find me at.

I am happy to hear that they are both doing a lot better now.
