    My hygrometers all read between 53 and 70, the range doesn't differ much outside of that. I just ordered two xiakr hygrometers usually used for humidors because I'm sick of the differences and how unreliable I feel the ones I have typically are. His water dish is big enough for him to soak in and shallow enough that he won't drown but idk, maybe it's not deep enough. It still feels weird to me that he's almost at 7 weeks without a shed even though he's a total fatboy now..

    I've been assuming that he's fine with how well he eats and his typical activity so it's just weird

    Re: Shedding question/is this an issue?

    Dion at Spyder Robotics recommended this hydrometer to me when I asked about purchasing one of their probes ($80) for my herpstat. He said their results with this particular model were within 1-2% of theirs and a whole lot less money (about $30).

    Yeah I actually just bought this exact model from a local cigar shop! I wanted 2 but they only had one. Think it works great but I did accidentally directly spray it while misting. Bix finally shed last night! I didn't want to disturb him so I really need to change the substrate, can I handle him?

    So I had a conversation with Kevin at Xikar and I mentioned I wish there was a wireless unit to monitor all 3 of my enclosures and guess what.....they do!!! So I ordered it the other day. A little more $$ but to check temps from my desk, works for me.

    Just wanted to make sure you're using a working thermostat to regulate your heat source? Because another possibility of a pink belly and "rough scales" is a mild burn. (But of course it's just based on description- can't tell without photos)
