    Too humid?

    I find it easier for me to maintain my temps and humidity with that combo. I tried both by them selves and it didn't do well. Its also more cost efficient for me to mix them. Gator is 7 months now and weighs 351 g.

    Too humid?

    Hydrofarm Question

    Gator is eating greens now! He loves collard greens and cactus pads. He still will not eat grass but its a work in progress! He has also started eating the Mazuri if I mix it with a little bit of pumpkin!

    Hydrofarm Question

    I recently set up my Hydrofarm thermostat and I'm not sure of the placement of the probe. Dose it need to be directly in the substrate or hanging above the substrate. I currently have it above Substrate next to my Accurite thermometer. There is about a 5 degree difference between my hydro temp...
