problem

[rex322]

i gotta problem. in my female BCIs tank, i dont use a heat pad, since the bottoms all wood. (heat lamps) usually i kept the probe outside the warm hide, and id get good temps. well i got her out and wanted to see the difference, since my hides are black, i thought perhaps theyd be a little to hot. before i stuck the probe into the warm hide, ite read 89.2º. now that its inside, it went down to 81.1º. i put to more heat lamps on there over the hide, but this would make the temp outside the hide really high. is this ok? any ideas?

What material is the hide constucted of? Was it you who was asking about slate before, Rex?
