So far everything with my new BP is going well. Temperature ranges are pretty decent, but the cool side keeps wanting to drop in the low 70s. Hot spot hasn't went above 93 since I have made some adjustments.

My questions are this....

1. My BP has taken to hiding in a tree hide I have provided. He has himself wedged in there pretty good, which makes it darn near impossible to see him (Thats the point of a hide, right? ) and get him out. He seems to like it, as he has been there for 3 days straight. Should I replace the hide with another hide in the same spot, or would that stress him out too much to take away where he feels safe? I just like being able to lift the hide and get him out for handling when needed, instead of trying to get him pry of a nice little wedge (Which I havent attempted yet).


2. Can I use another miniheat pad on the cool side that is thermostated to a lower temp than the hot side? The ambient air is fine, but I am having a hard time with the floor heat. I dont want to use a higher watt heat bulb, as I already have a problem with humidity staying up, and I think that will cook the hot side.

3. Can I use foil tape on the heatpads so that I dont have to stick it to the glass and then reuse them?


That's it for now. Sorry for all the questions, just trying to learn as much as possible and get it right.

Thanks.
