The other day when I was cleaning out Max's cage to put new bedding down that was treated with PAM, I set the tank in the sun to dry and went to run some errands. When I got home the tank was dry, and pretty hot, but the UTH was burning hot, to the point where you coudnt put your hand on it for a long time. So I brought the tank in the garage, let it cool off, put the bedding in, and treated the tank as PAM said to do. now when I plug the UTH into my thermostat it is having one heck of a hard time reaching above 85 degrees, and even when there it feels hardly warm at all. Could the sun have cause the UTH to fry? I know these UTH can reach 120 degrees on their own, cause I have seen it personally when I plugged it into the way and put a thermometer on it just to see how hot it could get, no, it wasnt on the tank at the time, but could the sun have fried this sucker?
