I understand this.
I am desperately looking for the brand name and model number of this magical "Thermostat" that regulates heat pad temperatures. I have been looking all over the posts on this site and have had no luck yet.
As of right now, I just bought the Exo Terra Heat Wave Desert Medium Pad; however, I will hold off on using it until I either get a good suggestion on a reliable thermostat, or until I figure out a good way to use it with my probe-thermometer.
I have given her a second hide on the cooler side, which she immediately went to check out. However, she did not stay long and promptly went back under the hide that is under the heat lamp.
I could not find the ZooMed Forest Floor cypress mulch, and the only other cypress mulch available was the All Living Things one. I decided against it because the woodchips seemed unforgiving. Instead, I went with the Exo Terra Plantation Soil, which I heard holds humidity very well. Probably just needs to be cleaned a bit more often than other substrates.
