Day 5
So this was mainly about temperature testing, moving the basking spot around to get the desired gradient and the correct temps at both ends. we used the set up seen in the pic below which consisted of two komodo dial thermometers and a USB digital thermometer capable of recording two different temperatures. we placed one thermometer directly below the heat lamp (digi) one one the slope of the main basking spot, one on the secondary perch (towards the front) and one in the cool end (digi). we found it easy enough to get the temp for the main basking spot however the cool end temp was a little bit too cool- we were registering 81F which is between the 80-85F parameters however its summer at the mo and so we were worried that it might not keep the temperature correct in the winter. we tried lowering the main basking spot until it was practically floor level and cranking up the heat but the cool end temp barely changed. With all the venting in the top i think the heat was escaping too easily and so we had to put our minds to work!!! unfortunately you will have to wait until later to find out what our awesome idea was. ooh the suspense!!! lol ![]() oh i don't know if anyone noticed the pillar in the above photo but this will be developed tomorrow into more of the cavern - more pics of this will be coming soon we also added the other half of the polystyrene to the back and started a little bit of shaping! ![]() thanks for all the comments guys!! keep them coming through though as i can still get my head through the door ![]()
