he has been known to tip the water bowl, could be the problem, ill do soemthing about that.

newspaper gets changed everytime they poop or urinate

the probe is like 1/4 off the floor, i placed the probe by letting the heat run all night (obviously with no animals in it) and felt the tub for the hottest part, and about a 1/4 inch off the floor on the back was the hottest part so i stuck the probe there.

so if its scale rot, whats the best way for me to treat it, and i really wondering about the filmy stuff, is that him healing, or do i want to clean it off.
