The temps are cold here today it is 39 degrees outside my house temp is 68. Maybe I should bump up the thermostat 5 degrees ? I'm having a wicked hard time getting my temps up in the enclosure my house is 200 years old and the temps really fluctuate. Maybe that could be what's going on.
I can't get the temp gun next to the Uth the zoo med is stuck to the bottom of the enclosure. Plus I have several stacked and I am not strong enough to move them I need to wait until my husband gets home. When I put my hand on the Uth where my snake is I can feel it is not warm enough. I have an infrared bulb but I was told by my breeder not to use it I am struggling with my humidity my house is very dry. I turned it on for the last hour now my ambient temps are much warmer but the Uth still is not.
I just took it again after an hour with the bulb on it reads 86 so maybe the bulb has to stay on because it is so cold outside . so now the thermostat is off maybe 6 degrees.
