    Suzi is such a cutie

    Looks like your warm side says 78 degrees. Could probably afford to be a little warmer.

    Yah that was prior to having everything setup proper... I found that using too much substrate makes a heating pad almost pointless! So I had removed much of the substrate from around where the heating pad was leaving about 1" of substrate on the floor... and had built it up higher the farther away from the heat mat I got to ensure the heat wouldn't transfer to the cold side to easy.. Now I have it steady and the Thermostat rocks!

    Thank you for the observation though Emily!! lets me know your looking out for us!

    Today I had her out and she was doing good for me! Hope your having a good day

    But it doesn't. Still, shouldn't be more than two inches deep on top of the heat pad anyway.
