Well Santa has brought me another 4x2x2 monkfield viv which will sit on top of my other, built it all last night and sat it on top this morning.
I have no heating or lighting in yet just thermometers set up and cable in so I can seal it.
Checked it just now and the new viv with no heating in is reading 33c on hot end because of ceramic in viv below!
Does anybody that have a viv stack use spacers to get rid of some of that extra heat or just ignore it and let it take some of its heat from below |

And now I've pulled the end off my lucky reptile delux pro thermometer... Had to be the expensive one didn't it. Excellent |

It is only 33c directly above the ceramic in the viv below on the floor. Ambient temp, cold end and even warm and away from that one hot spot are all around room temp |

You'd need an air gap really to get the best from it. My stack has all hot spots off set from the next vivarium apart from one which does just heat next vivarium but it's a huge 6 footer on top so it quickly disperses and makes little difference, I figured that there was no danger in the huge vivarium as the floor gets warm in that spot but never too warm before the stat below kicks in. If yours is already at 33°C then it has the potential to overheat. |
