Hi again, I've just set up a nest box and put it where the rock was, (the rock that was place over two smaller ones) at the cool end, it's useually hovers around 80 - 83 at that end so I'll take a reading of the vermiculite with my temp gun and let you know what it reads to see if that is ok, if not I do have a little heat mat that will do the job if need be. Speaking of temperature, I mentioned in a previouse post that I drop the temp at night by around 10 degrees, should I stop doing this for the time being?. The box measures 11" inch x 9" x 4 1/2 and the vermiculitle is the fine grain stuff and it's about 2 1/2 inch deep and it is packed down. I used the method where you soak it and then squeeze as much water out as possable, so that it leaves it just damp, I squeezed it so much my hand hurt lol. any how does it look/ sound ok?
Thank you
Martin
