New to this forum, Got a BEL, Shed question

[Dianne]

Haha dang. Oh well, guess i’ll know in a few days if i was right or not. I’ll offer food again on Sunday or Monday most likely.

Yeah, after thinking more about the probe being inside the tank i got all worried and had to go move it. I’m having a hard time measuring the temp of the glass inside the terrarium, since it just reflects the laser and gives an inaccurate reading. Any suggestions?

Was thinking maybe laying a piece of tissue paper on the glass over the UTH, and then measuring the temp of that so i don’t get a reflection.

If it’s any consolation, I can’t tell when my albino, 2 bananas, or my dragonfly are going to shed either. The light colors just don’t show the dulling very well, until one day you have a shed in the cage.

I would think you could use something like tissue paper or parchment paper (baking supply) under the substrate so that the laser temp doesn’t reflect off the glass. You might have to wait for it to warm up for a few minutes to get an accurate reading if you’re just going to use it when you measure temps.
