Yeah, I know...just hate the day or two that it takes. Esp now that its fall and cooler in the house (71 vs 78) lol. I just can't afford to keep the heat that high through fall and winter or I totally would.
I've been considering getting some heat tape for the winter so that I can keep the hot hide up without also raising the cool side as much - last winter once it actually got cold and the house was in the 67-68 range it was hard to get 88-90 in the hot hide without it getting up to like 84-85 in the cool and 83/84 ambient from having both CHEs set higher (both on thermostats). I don't know if I want to go through that again this year. Dealing with that last year made this little fluctuation seem like nothing. But I gotta admit that under the tank heat makes me nervous...
Reptile show is tomorrow which is why I'm thinking about it at 4:30 am instead of sleeping :/ and I know I can pick up another thermostat and tape for far cheaper than online.
