jobi,
I noticed on your pics that the digital temp gauge you used looked like the type that can measure surface temps. I have a friend who has this, this is how I am familiar with them. I was wondering, does it take the surface temps of the glass of the bulbs, and of the ceramic of the ceramic heater? I don't think any of my 25w bulbs ever get to above 90F, and even that might be pushing it. You might be using higher quality bulbs than me though. I was just wondering, because I too have had bad luck with the ceramic heaters, my large snake touched one about 5 months before I got him, it left a burn that took another 4 to heal. Very, very hot on the surface.
The humidity problem is an interesting one, as Christmas is around the corner, I might ask for one of the devices you mentioned. If it's not too much trouble, could I get a pic of one? I have actually had problems with the batteries running out in my digital thermometers. Just read my post on the Repticzone forum that says, "Bad, Bad, Bad". That was really unnerving. Anyway, thanks so much for the tips, I greatly appreciate them!



Evan.
