Okay so I got my UTH and T-Stat set up correctly. I have been fooling with the gauge on the T-Stat for a week now and it still fluctuates a lot. It's the Zoomed Repti temp 500R thermostat. I am just confused I think.....ugh

I am using paper towels for substrate and have the UTH under the warm hide with the T-Stat probe and the Accurite probe on top of the paper towels under the hide. I had one reading of 101 degrees this week. I turned the T-Stat down a little till the light went off but then it got down to 88 degrees. It is getting closer to what I want/need but not exactly yet. I am looking for about 92 degrees.

I can't figure out how once it gets to 92 degrees, how do I adjust the knob so it stays there and it doesn't get higher or lower??? I am sooo confused. Maybe I am just misunderstanding the whole T-Stat concept

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I just got rid of the mites with Provent a Mite about 2 weeks ago. However he still has been fasting for about 3 months. I tried a f/t mouse for the first time this week and he was very interested. More then I have seen him be, to the point he was in S position for awhile staring at it.No such luck though. However, I was hoping to get his tank temp fixed with belly heat now instead of a lamp so maybe he would eat. He did have a complete shed a couple days ago It was fabulous!!! But he's still hanging in his cool hide the majority of the time.

Thanks a bunch
