My cold side temps is at...65F. the temp here dropped significantly as all of a sudden it went from one day of summer to winter the next day. Any ideas how I can raise it?
Also, the cold weather now affects the hot side floor temp too. It sometimes goes down to 80F..with a high of around 90..but more consistantly at 85F (all day time temps). I have both a UTH and a heat lamp. With these new guys, I switched to tile so I've never really had this heating problem before. If I put the next size bulb on, the heat goes to a whooping 110F (don't worry, I took them out to test the bulb first). I think the hot side needs to a tad higher (90-95 is what I would like to get to) because last night, it got really cold and one of the babies threw up after eating, which may or may not be because of the temps not helping them digest? May try the tin foil that Aliza mentioned in some other threads.
Most important is the beginning question...how to raise the temp of the cold side since I can't really put a light on it because then that would make it a warm side? lol
p.s I'm putting plastic on my windows this weekend so hopefully the room will be a bit warmer which might help:main_thumbsup:
