BP Keeps Soaking in His Water Bowl

[Craiga 01453]

I am heating with a heat lamp and heat pad, and I take temps with a temp gun. Temps haven't changed in like 4 years as I have been running the same set up. I don't have it hooked up to a thermostat, but I take the temps several times a week just to make sure they are staying in the correct range.

A thermostat is literally the MOST IMPORTANT piece of equipment you can have. Not using one you are risking heat spikes that can cause serious burns, neurological issues and even death.

Your temps may be spiking without you even realizing it. A thermostat would eliminate that problem since it not only KEEPS YOUR ANIMAL SAFE, it also regulates temps so they don't fluctuate.

Not having a hygrometer also makes no sense, EVERY care sheet ever has humidity requirements on it. Why? Because humidity is IMPORTANT.
