Help please! My ball's belly is flaky and scales are coming off individually

[JeffJ]

Thanks, everyone! I am probably going to get a thermostat because the temps in my dorm are very unpredictable. How about the stick-on dial hygrometers? Are they usually pretty accurate or should I get something better?

you can pick up an acu-temp hydra/thermometer from wal-mart or home depot for about $15

ideally you would get 2 digital thermometers with probes mouth them both under the substrate one on hot side on the glass over the UTH one on the cold side and get a separate digital hydrometer and mount it center tank about an inch above the substrate. the acu-temp thermometers have a hydrometer on it too but measuring humidity from under the substrate will be inaccurate.

anything with a dial or needle or those stick on temperature gradient stickers are all highly inaccurate and should barely b trusted with ambiant air temperature.
