Gauge placement?

Postby eegore » Sat Apr 30, 2011 12:42 pm

Where is the ideal place for me to stick my temperature and humidity gauges. In the middle, cool end,basking end?

I would assume cool end to ensure proper numbers and just use my temp gun for basking surface....yes?

I have two temp guages one on the cool side and one on the warm side and the humidity gauge in the middle. And use the temp guage for the basking spot. Or you could use the temp gun for everything and put the humidity guage in the middle :lol:

That would work fine. I found once I was confident that my temps were good I just use my temp gun occasionally to confirm and not even worry about temperature gauges. :)
