..exactly right.
I got my first BP around the 4th of July and thought that I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I did more lurking around the forum than posting. But today I had the urge to tell every single one of you that you were right. About everything. I updated my setup to include two larger hides ( he had just one and was starting to out grow it. Ditched my ceramic heater and nighttime bulb for a UTH (which I have a question about), and even invested in one of those fancy Repti-foggers because I was begining to get carpal tunnel from spraying that damn tank 8 trillion times a day just to keep the humidity up.
So again, thank you for all your help and support!! I'll post pictures soon!
So to the UTH question,
I have an Accurite thermometer/hydrometer and placed the outdoor probe on the bottom of the tank over the UTH. I also have the UTH hooked up to a lamp dimmer to help regulate temps. BUT the temp reads nearly 120 degrees Farenheit, and the temp on top of the substrate is around 89-91 when I measure it with my IR temp gun. Should I be concerned? The substrate is about 2 inches thick and I have never seen my BP burrow like my corns. His warm hide is about 1/3 on the pad (on top of the 2 inches of substrate.
Ok I'll stop rambling and once again thanks and I hope I can start to contribute more!
