I dont understand your heating question. You get higher readings than what your ranco is set to? that doesnt make sence, It should be the other way around. I dont know if this is the the problem, but remember you CANT use a temp gun in a reflective surface, use it on the substrate in the hot end.
Those are actualy 28qts sterilite from target, the only tubs I use at the moment. When the females get big I will get 41qts, which are the same dimensions as the 28qt but longer.
Oh i know, I actually remove the lid and check the tub (i have newspaper substrate) on all spots that i can. I just adjusted the thermostat and fixed where the probe was on the heating pad. We will see the results in a little while.
