    Alright people

    Hey Ladies and Gentlemen, I havent been on in a while and i had a question so here i am.... is it bad if my boy defecates often, i mean he layed a huge turd when he last shed and i figured normal... but now he will lay almost pellets small cylindrical droppings usually before his next meal... is this normal? and since im here typing, my accurite completely went on the fritz and is saying my hot side is 28 degrees F and cool side is 76. WTF right? Ive seen all the other postings about the western humidor hygrometer from amazon and thought that might be good at this point but then what would i use for temps? Does anyone know a good analog or digital thermometer thats reliable and hopefully a little more accurate than accurite? Well anyways, like always, thanks for the help and good to be back on the site.

    What color are the pellets? If they are white these could be urartes.

    I recommend this thermometer.

    http://bit.ly/VsZZQe

    Since they are so cheap I actually bought 10 of them with the intention of using 2 just to check for accuracy among the majority of them. All 10 were spot on within a 1 degree variance.

    If you like send me a private message, I have 8 of these sitting around, pay for shipping and I will send you what you need, quicker than getting them from eBay,

    I have a female normal who will give small one inch turds about every two weeks. Then I have another female who hasn't had a bowel movement in almost two months (she's been a problem feeder up until recently) and when she leaves me a package, it's half as long as she is.

    Sounds like poop. But am I reading right that your hot side is 28 F, or is that a typo???

    He said his thermometer went on the Frits and its reading 28F, probably a higher temp.

    Some people have all the luck I always seem to get 1 or 2 that are out in left field.

    Digital units are fragile dirt and junk on the hygrometer part and any damage to probes. The advantage of the cheap units is you can easily replace them when they do go flakey.
