Finally got Petey's digital probe thermometers (2) and IR Gun.
IR Gun: Peteys basking area, his hammock, runs anywhere from 86F to 96F, depending on where you shoot on the hammock itself. 96F where the probe is, which is his 'spot'.
This is the probe laying on his hammock, touching the fiber, and the temp.
This is the probe on the cool side. About 4 inches from top mesh. Substrate at 68F. Too cool. IR shows that whole half of tank between 68F and 72F basicly.
All over his hide, from 70F to 72F. This doesn't seem warm enough for center tank or cool side.
Had to drop basking fixture until almost on the steel mesh to get his spot over 86F. From the probe to the mesh is 9 inches and to the actual basking bulb about 13 inches. So this is the final temps from fiddling all afternoon and getting stink eye from Petey who is TRYING to sleep. ?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
