Why does my BP prefer the cold side of his Vivarium?

[Dano94]

I am guessing you have a small Royal? Under 600gm? Often little ones don't like the heat much I would drop the hot spot to closer to 30-31ºC . Also there is quite a lot of variation in inexpensive thermometers do you have something to check it against?

Some can be off by as much as 2ºC and still be considered perfect by the manufacturer.

It's a really accurate thermometer, but you're right, there is no harm in testing with another one to make sure.

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't have an answer for your question, as I don't know enough about BP's yet....

but as a Canadian....NEVER apologize for using Celsius!!!!

Hahaha! I never knew you guys use the Metric system up there?

Go Canada!
