Notice this morning my lil guy has a runny nose. Soak him every other day, feed outdoor grasses and weeds, also store veggies. Humidity is 80/90s temp is mid 80s by his house, he is also put outside for sunshine and exercise. Possibilities ideas??

Raise temps to 85 day and night. Keep an eye out for any changes to the bad. Lots of times it's nothing and Warner temps for a week or so will take care of it.

I'm not sure what your asking. A che is no light just heat and can be used day and night. Depending on the size of enclosure you may need more then one. A bulb with light and heat can also be added for day time.

Yes. You may need two though. Depends on the size of enclosure and whether open top or not. Also on how cold your house gets or where ever you house him.

If you plug them into a thermostatic control and put the pickup in the coolest part of the enclosure , they will turn off and on as needed !

Awesome thanks speedy
You are welcome ! Remember to put the sending unit in the coolest spot . Tip 1 - put the sending unit in a plastic baggie so it wont get wet or dirty ! Tip 2 - don't bury it in the substrate , or you wont get a true reading . It has 3 places to plug stuff in , so if you need more than 1 CHE you are good to go ! you will like it !
