Posted by: lolaophidia at Mon Dec 6 20:06:44 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by lolaophidia ] What temp are you running the heat source at? I would think rubbermaids would not melt at temps most reptiles thrive at (excluding desert basking lizards, which I usually see heated with overhead lamps). I'm not familiar with the husbandry of some of the animals on your list, what are you keeping in the rack? I keep snakes, mainly colubrids (with a few boids) and the warm cages run at 82-85 for a hot spot, ambient temp of 73-75. I know a rubbermaid won't melt at 85 degrees (or even at 110 when I tested the rack initially). Can you use a temp gun to test the temp directly over the heat tape? Maybe your thermostat isn't working correctly? Where is the sensor probe placed in relation to the heat tape? I put mine on the hottest spot in the cage (or in the back of the rack next to the heat source and adjust slightly for the desired temp at the back of the tubs. | ||
