Well I never said it was hot on the top (just the pad), I said it was barely warm on the top. However, the pillow heater did take up about half the tank, which was a bad mistake on my part, but I have seen her chill by her water bowl for a cool down. She seems fine for now, got an UTH and I'm picking up a rheostat tomorrow. Time will tell I guess. Gophers in the wild usually hibernate around this time, but I've heard that if you live in SoCal (which I do) then they don't need to go into hibernation mode, as long as you keep the normal temperatures where they are (which I don't know if it's true or not, because she definitely went through the hibernation period last year and didnt eat for a few months ) Oh well, I'll try and make sure the temps in the cage are at 75-85 degrees.
