Day 23 - Thursday July 20

 By 11:00 PM Tuesday night the temp was at 150!

Yesterday morning it was 144. I moved it outside to catch the full sun. At 9:15 it was still 144, so I moved it into the greenhouse. 

By 3:15 it was 151! Because it was in the 90's and very hot outside, I moved it out of the greenhouse and took the plastic covering off. At 7:30 pm it was 147 and I moved it back into the greenhouse.

At 9:00 pm it was 144 so I put an old comforter over it to keep it as warm as possible overnight.

This morning at 8:00 it is 137.

Since the goal is to keep it at 150 for 5-6 days straight, and then 145-150 for several more days, I think it is time for the heating pad. We'll do that this afternoon or evening, depending on how high it gets being in the greenhouse. 

The thermometer Stephany got can control the temperature.

The top number is the temperature reading, and the lower number is the setting. We'll plug the heating pad into the thermometer, and then set it at 150. It will turn the heating pad on and off based on the temperature reading from the probe stuck into the middle of the sukumo.
