    Belly burn on a preggo mojave

    My big mama moved the heat controllers probe out of the heat zone and ended up burning her belly under her eggs inside will she and the babies be ok? I rubbed her up with neosporin

    Re: Belly burn on a preggo mojave

    Id say there's going to be problems

    Just have to wait and see though, when is she due?

    That sucks man

    Try to learn from the mistake and put the probe in a different location that can't be moved.

    you can also hot glue it. I have heard ppl doing that and I just bought a glue gun to do that as well.

    I use aluminum foil tape cause it is extra sticky. Electrical tape never sticks to anything.

    But yes, thermostat probe should not be in the enclosure to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
