ventilation?

So the heat sourse is at one end - just to confirm?

But the max heat is in the middle of the cage?

Where are the vents - maybe the heat is travelling to the centre where it can escape?

Are...

thermometer probe

Just be aware that the thermometer probe will warm up to a high temp if it actually touches the surface - if it moves and 'floats' even 1mm off the surface the temp it reads will drop by 2-3 deg.

Food item too big?

Quick question for python owners:

How can you tell if the food item is too big for your mac?

If it is too big can it hurt them or will they re-guretate it?

oops that was 2 questions!
