Sorry for the barrage of questions. Just want to make sure my setup is at its optimum.
I am seeing a temp swing on the rub hot end of from 30-34.5 deg, this is because of the habitstat on/off stat. Temps are measured by digital term on the rub floor, temp is never static and is always moving between the two above figures.
Now is this ok? Or should I bite the bullet and get a pulse stat which will mean more stable temps? |

You're in the right ball park with those temps, is your fluctuation day/night or several times across the day
My rack runs on an on/off stat without any issue. So long as you're in that 30-35c range you should be ok |

Constantly changing as stat turns the mat on and off.
So temp will rise to say 34 the stat will knock off and temps drop back till stat kicks back in and cycle will start again.
I find my self watching the ever changing temp and worrying

guessing you are using a microclimate mat stat? if so this is fine as theres a few degrees difference between on/off
the microclimate i use for my bull snakes goes on/off from 27c-31c |

| I use dual time dimming stats, so I maintain a regular temp and a 10f drop between 9:30pm and 9am |
