    Hide question/issue

    Hi,

    I have had my BP for about 6 months, trouble free...knock on wood; however, over the past week my BP will not go in either hide, (cool-side or warm-side)? Can anyone shed some light on if this is normal behavior or an indication that something may be wrong.

    Thanks in advance!

    What are the cool-side / warm-side temps? Humidity?

    Those temps are a little high. Try dropping them to 82-84 cool side and 92-94 hot side. I usually try to aim for 83 and 93. It maybe just too warm, how do you measure those temps?

    I measure my temps with two digital thermometers.

    on accasion my bp doesnt use her hides. sometimes she finds a spot that stays right around 86 F and stays there. adam once told me to not worry about it and all we can give them is what they require and they will decide what they want.
