Hi Tom. Thanks. Ive swapped both stats round, and the same is happening.
So, the main stat has the main heater plugged in, which is just past the middle on one side, thats set to 28.
I then have another stat, over on the other side of the enclosure, which is the cooler side. Thats set at...
I think the temps ok as it seems consistent with the other stats. No air escaping, and as I said no problem previously. Probe is in exact same place. Both probes are nls k wire with metal at end
I was hoping I needed to set something on the stat.
My son is hoping to bring a thermometer home...
Itsnotbeen an issuein. 2 years. I was putting 2 in his new one but ones always been adequate.
I have put an extra one in ATM and tried it with 2 stats initially ut that just seemed to turn them both off and make it colder which amazed me
If I just put one on with no stat I can get the temp up...

Hi
Just after a bit ot of advice please.
Replaced My thermostat which is just over 2 yrs old and I felt wasn't holding temps properly.
Also bought a new arcadia CHE holder and a new che bulb
Ive bought an inkbird ITC 306T
Bought this one as recommended but it has that much stuff on it I think...
sorry i meant his inside one, ive lined it with insulation, put a new plastic cover over and am making a tongue n groove sides and roof to match my hall and were going to put wallpaper around outside which will give it more of a jungle effect. So I hadnt updated you about the temps etc, but...
Hi Karen
I've been waiting until I have finished all the sides and outside of raf's den ( all aesthetic so not needed) before i sent pics of it all but since i got a good piece of plastic sheet from B&Q and covered it completely both tempos and humidity have gone up. Its showing 28 at the warmer...
read the article i pasted
Its 7 times more likely that kids will be affected.
Thats not a risk i would be prepared to take
Im sure keeping a tortoise in an open enclosure wont kill it, but people are horrified at that. I am far more concerned about the effects on children's brains of a mobile...
Just thought id let you know
The coldest part has registered at around 22.5 today and i have to say the enclosure feels lovely and cosy. he was warm as toast when we got him out to bath him. he seems far more active and is eating like a horse! i have also noticed that i can see his colouring...
i agree that before you have kids your pets are your kids, but believe me nothing comes close to your kids. The fact is, if you try not to do anythign to harm your pet, youd make even more effort with your children, Your children are the most precious thing you could ever ever have in your life
by the way at tort height the coldest part was 21 degrees, and i need to readjust the covering. I am awaiting one sheet, i have a few bags over it atm! Its showing around 30 in the hot part, so i feel it isnt too bad esp as hes had it way cooler. he felt lovely and warm when i got him out for a...
yes, I bought an empty spray bottle some time back and fill it with hot water, i was spraying his old house with it, and also have done this one. Provided it isnt too hot I often spray him with it too. i put hot water in his water bowl too. (obvs i watch him to make sure he doesnt go in it...
