BP rejecting UTH?

You need to get that thermometer asap

The thing is with dimmers/rheostats is that they rise with the ambient temp. So if your room goes up say 6 degrees, so will the belly heat making it possibly uncomfortable. You can't really make any assumption of anything until you get a thermometer with a probe. Go to walmart and get an acurite thermometer w/ probe there like 12 bucks. You should ALWAYS be monitoring how hot it is because things break, or things just happen that your not expecting. Whenever using a rheostat ALWAYS monitor it with probed thermometer, they aren't reliable sources of heat control.

good point, I'll go out and get my own. Thanks!

Log hides aren't that good for BPs. If you have a dollar store near you, you can buy bowls from there and cut out a hole on the side or the top and make nice cheap hides.

Or cave hides. They're more expensive, but you may want them anyway. That's the sort of thing to go for.

right on man. Thanks a ton!
