after i read the messages i went right out and got myself a digital thermohygrometer not the one that was recommended but one that works. HOLY COW! were the temps all wrong. those little round thermometers are horrible and of course the hygrometer was way off to. the digital read 109 and 12% humidity. so i scraped the lamp and now my hot side temp is 92-95. poor nibbs has been cooking for lord knows how long. well that answers why the poor baby is not feeling well. hopefully this will help us get back on track. i’m sure glad i followed my gut on this and talked to u guys.
