That since I'm using my Herpstat Pro inside my Animal Plastics T-10's to control RHP's.

That the probes are sso shiny and smooth that they don't effectively measure radiant heat.

And that I should scuff em up and paint em a flat black color to help absorb more of the radiant heat.

He said it would help the Herpstat get a better reading of the true ambient temps.

Has anyone ever heard of this? I don't doubt him. But its seems like a lot of other far fetched ideas that I've heard. I'd just like to get opinions before I start painting probes!! Haha

Input is appreciated!
