Yesterday I checked on my BCI and she was in her water bowl, which is unusual. I read the humidity, which was okay. I took the temp gun, checked the cold side (about 78F) and then the basking spot. 160 degrees!! What?
I yanked out the snake who felt cool, so I calmed down a bit. The hot spot felt warm to the touch, but not hot. What the heck?
Seems that somebody in my family had played with my temp gun's emissivity setting. Back to factory defaults, and everthing was fine. But I almost had a heart attack.
