    Not hot enough
    I just got a new them. and heating pad . hooked them both up and the heating pad feels warm but the them. says its about 25-50 degrees . which is much to cold . and the cold side is about 18-30 . Is there a way I could warm it up fast ? Its too late to go any where tonight and I am worried .

    Glad that worked for you. :)

    Watch that pad. They get real hot on their own...110 easy. You'll need at least a rheostat to tame that thing and a t-stat is the ultimate...Herpstat.

    He has been in there matbe thirty mins . When I put him in temps were perfect .

    I bought these two items this evening set them up and now my them is ether crappy or my heating pad isnt staying hot . Them. will give e good warm reading like your suppossed to have and then I go and check him and they drop ... few mins later they are warmer but not warm enough .

    I put my arm in and the hair feels like the humidity's alright and the ground feels warm . He isn't cold but he is in the mid of a shed and I don't know if being not hot enough will harm him
