So ever since I cleaned Athena's tank out last week I've noticed my temp gun has been acting a little funky. Usually I have the thermostat for my heat pad set at 95 so it's a perfect 90 on top of the substrate. However, after I cleaned the tank and when the heat pad had warmed up, it kept on reading only 82 on top of the substrate, so I boosted up the temp of the thermostat to 100 even though the temp gun was still only reading 85. (We're expecting on hell of a blizzard so I just figured it was getting colder). But of course it didn't occur to me until today that the batteries could be running low. =_= I went to check on her today and noticed that the edge of some of her belly scales were a dark red. It hardly looks like anything but I just wanted to know if I needed to treat the areas at all even if they're this tiny.
