Hi again, o.k, I think it sounds like one of the analogue thermometers, the reason I asked is because that type can be innacurate, in which case, you don`t know what the real temps are (they can be out by as much as 10%).
Can you afford to buy a digital hygrometer/thermometer asap? They are quite cheap, I`m living in England just now (from Australia), so I can`t tell you the exact cost, but I believe it`s around $12 to $15?
It`s VERY important to know the temps and humidity, also, a digital thermometer with a probe will tell you what the basking area temp is (that`s a surface temp), NOT the ambient (air) temp, and it needs to be around 120 to 130 or a little higher. Without those high basking temps, the monitor cannot properly digest food, or function efficiently, and it`s immune system may be compromised.
