I've only had my BP Kash since October and it's taken lots of trial & error to get my enclosure just right & I am still failing miserably. I just can't seem to get it right. I am having a new cage built soon but in the mean time I would like to figure out what the hell I am doing wrong, before I lose my mind! lol! Here's a run down of what I'm working with. 20L tank, reptibark for substrate, 2 similar hides, med size water bowl, 2 tree branches, 2 accurite temp/humidity gauges on either side *placed directly on glass under substrate, under each hide*, 1 analog temp gauge in middle, screen top sealed with plastic wrap. Kash is about 7 & 3.5 ft, just came out of a crappy shed I have a small desert UTH on the one side, gets to about 106 degrees (however it does NOT get that hot on top of the reptibark, where he sits), that UTH is attached to a foil pad on the underside of the tank. I am unsure of what kind of UTH is on the otherside, but that one is attached to the glass & gets to about 114 under the substrate (the hide on that side is a cardboard box which has a bottom so the heat would have to travel thru the substrate & thru the cardboard) my humidity on that side is about 85, yet on the other side is about 50ish. Before I was using about a 50 watt bulb during the day which was sucking my humidty right out (i'd come home from work & it would be about 25!! that's why the shed was so horrible) but my temps seemed to be good (ambient as well). I started using the other UTH so I could get rid of the light & now it seems my ambient temp is suffering (70-72!) I have dimmers on each UTH that really don't seem to be working, I plan on getting a stat soon but in the mean time i need help! I'm getting really frustrated here He's a great eater which is a good sign (so i've heard) so I'm hoping I'm not too terribly off on his environment. I guess I need to know where is the perfect place to set these probes? How do I know exactly the temp of what he is laying on? The heat doesnt seem to penetrate the reptibark very much at all so I'm concerned that even tho the temp says 114 on the warm side & 106 on the cool side the proper temps he needs is not going thru the bark. Does that all make sense? Please give me any suggestions, I've learned so much here & I'm excited to hear any ideas you guys may have. Thank you so much for your help, Kash & I would be so appreciate!
