Hey everyone,
I recently got my heat tape to heat my roach colony that is currently thriving on the extra heat coming from the top of my computer. I cut, stripped, soldered, hot glued and spliced in a dimmer as well. The problem I’m having however is measuring the temperature. I have a temp laser gun but I have a pretty good feeling that that only measures surface temperatures. :roll: I know that the roaches need to be at about 90 to breed. The floor on the tub is reading 100 degrees but I’m not sure what the ambient temp is.
How do you guys measure the ambient temp?
Where should I be getting that 90 degree measurement?
And what does the floor of your tub read? :study:
p.s. The roaches are not in there yet I’m waiting till I get the temps right before I toss them in there. Just incase anyone was worried i was cooking lunch
Thanks!,
Nick
