So as the days are getting warmer, I check weather.com every day.
Right now where I am, it's supposed to get into the low to mid 60's.
However yesterday it said it was 63 degrees outside. I went and brought my digital thermometer out, just to see what it looked like at ground level. Keep in mind, it obviously doesn't register wind. But there was basically no wind anyways.
So in the sun (where Thor's enclosure is). It read 85 degrees at ground level and 81 at the top of Thor's shell. I have one of those indoor/outdoor probe ones.
Is this technically correct? I did take him outside for maybe 10 minutes and I felt his shell when I went to bring him in, his shell was actually decently warm.
Now of course, this was just the area's in the sun. I forgot to check the shade area's but the only shade when I brought him out was the Hosta's that he can hide in.
So, do I go by my digital or the actual weather? Or any opinions on the matter.
