Allrighty...

So I got a rheostat today since no one around here carries thermostats. First off, IGNORE THOSE TEMPS!! I had just hooked up the rheostat and put the probes in. Temps now are 88 warm side and 76 cool side



I kept the Flukers thermometer/hygrometer in there to measure humidity- I finally found the fabled Acurite thermometers, but they were out of the kind that measure both. I got two, so now I'm measuring ambient, hot side, and cool side. I put the probes in the hides about 1" from the bottom. BTW, having identical hides does seem to make a difference. Before, I had a rock hide and a coconut hide, but he would pick the rock every time.

Here's a bonus picture of Milton after he got done eating today (he ate [under supervision, of course] while I messed with his setup).



Doesn't he look nicer without being half-shed?

And yes, that's mouse pee!
