...is there any way i can display both indoor and outdoor temps at the same time right now it wont let me...

[sweety314]

Check to make sure it's NOT in CLOCK mode. there's a very small button that changes it between temp and clock. If it's in temp it will show both temps...As long as we're both talking about the AcuRite style.

[Nate]

Yep there should be a button that says "temp/clock"....is it on yours?

[The One And Only]

I found that darn little button...well as of now with no lid or water bowl temps read...99.1 and 76.1 with a humidity at 67%....i am using a dimmer switch for a couple weeks until i order thermostat...

[Nate]

If you just put the battery in, give it an hour for the temps to settle a little bit.

[The One And Only]

should i leave the dimmer switch at full or turn it down a bit...i will let it stand once i put the water dich in...wont that make a difference in humididty?

[sweety314]

Yes. U want it to sit for a little while in the same way it will be if the snake were in it. But it will take a little while for everything to "settle down" and give you an accurate reading.


Put the bowl in, w/the lid on and let it sit for a bit, then look at the readings.

[The One And Only]

well i put the water bowl in by the way i put repti safe in the water i hope it is ok...and the lid is on now we play the waiting game i hope i can get the temps to sit right i really hope they do so i can get my snake soon...

[sweety314]

ReptiSafe won't hurt...that's what it's for.....lol


Some ppl don't see a need for it...there's a thread discussing the pros and cons of using the additives.

I have a graphic of how your UTH/tub and probe might look like, but I haven't figured out how to attach it to a reply yet.
