Hide Move and Heating Questions

[PitOnTheProwl]

1- Is this a hide that he can get in but you cant get him out of? I would replace it if you cannot get to him in it. A picture might help.

2- Yes you ban use another heat source with stat to regulate your cool side.

3- foil tape is the best way to keep them movable to different habitats.

Below are a couple pictures of the 'offending' hide. Sometimes his head is visible, but most of the time he pulls himself all the way up into the top of the branch and I can only see a small coil of his body.

Since there is no 'top exit' the only way I can see of getting him out, is putting anything near his face, and I'd rather not stress him out by putting him on the defensive. The other hide is significantly bigger (getting a smaller one tonight) so I dont think he feels as safe in the other.

Ditch the hide AND both of those gauges.
Get a digital gauge from wally world.

Just as an update...

I now have two hydro farm thermostats (getting rid of the zilla). I have a digital thermometer under each hide as well as an electric hygrometer.

I have taken out the tree hide and the bulk rock hide and replaced it with two small cement hides and a bigger water dish.

The hot hide now stays around 88-91 and the cool hide is around 80-82. Humidity is at 60-70%.

Overall I think all is going well!

thanks for all the help so far!
