does this one take the temp on the glass? cuz if so its measuring the glass temps and not the inside the tank temp as described in this quote.. from the post * * SETTING UP YOUR ENCLOSURE...: Quote: Digital Thermometer/Hydrometer -
Marg(found at Wal-Mart [Hardware dept - $11.88] - Lowes, Home Depot, etc for less than $15) (Dial and "Stick On" gauges are Crap) the probe from the therm/hydrometer goes IN the Warm Side Hide - the unit goes In the cool side, Inside the tub/tank. You need to get something similar to this...
Temps should read: Warm Side: between 90f - 94f (32.22C - 34.44 C) Cool Side:between 80f - 84f (26.67 C - 28.89 C) Humidity: between 50-60% (70% when in shed) *although some prefer to use lower temps, but personally, I would not go too much lower. the Probe goes Inside the Warm hide (dont attach it to the hide - makes for a pain when cleaning) again... The Unit goes on cool side... near the bottom of enclosure In temp = Cool side temp Out temp = Warm side temp Bottom Reading = Humidity Level The heat provided should be obtained by using a UTH (under Tank Heater) Controlled by a Thermostat, or a dimmer switch at the least! |
