thank you for the replys! i think i need to invest in a temp gun and start keeping track of the temps. as for getting hot inside those hides joanna, i know exactly what you mean. i moved Ira's hide from the warm side to the cool side because it was getting temps of 98+ inside. i want her to be warm, but i dont wanna cook her! I also think im gonna get another more ventilated hide for the hot side.
btw brian, what do u pay for a good temp gun?
