Alright so I get home today and after a few(I take my shower and whatnot.)
I get on my pc. After a bit, however, my thermostat kicks on and I start smelling this weird burning smell not like in your face but just barely noticeable at first. Then it I start worrying.
So long story short I am 100% certain the heating tape I got with my rack is faulty. It has hot spots all over it when I smelt it I Immediately took all my noodles outside the rack and got and started temp gunning areas one of which was a whopping 132 degrees Fahrenheit with the lowest being 91(What my thermostat was set at)
I don't when I did exactly wrong :\(If it was even me)
I first noticed this in a post about my moving my thermometers and thermostat probe.(it was not this pronounced only a few degrees 5 at the most. But this is rather ridiculous. I don't think it should be normal for my heat tape to measure a different temperature every 6-12". Now I need advice on
1. Where to get better/more reliable heat tape.
2. What about my noodles heatingthe room they are in gets at lowest to 77(at night) throughout the day it reaches a maximum of 84 degree's Fahrenheit.
For spare heating, I have one unused terrarium with a UTH pad Which was regina's I will probably move her back into that enclosure. but now I have 3 other balls and one 45 watt heat lamp...
I do in fact plan to get shipping heat pads but have yet too *sigh*
Also going to call where I get the racks(It just now reached 30days today) So hopefully they can help me out and maybe refund me at least the installation cost.
But seriously this a quite the bummer and rather infuriating.
