my boyfriend came home and was able to keep an eye on parker for me to make sure he didnt escape while i ran in and out of the room to take care of the things in the tank. i took out a bunch of the reptibark and made it thinner on the warm side. i lined the bottom with newspaper on the warm side too. i placed the thermostat probe outside the tank on the heat source.... the thermostat shut itself off within a minute (at 90 degrees). the thermometer still reads the glass at 101 degrees. i also replaced the water in the bowl again and didnt put as much in, hopefully that will help with the humidity. my friend is coming over tomorrow with a temp gun so i can read the temp on the substrate and see how accurate my thermometer is. he's had his bp for a year and is the person who actually recommended the site to me. so he's going to personally check out my tank and make sure everything is all good. he's going to weigh parker too!!
i can breathe easier now lol
