I'm having abit of a mare at the moment with my rack . Its a book case type on and I currently have three out of seven mats on . Question is where do I put the stat probe ? I had it originally underneath one of the rubs but this made it a nitemare when pulling the rub in and out without sloshing water all over the place . I got temps of 31 is but last nite it went to 33 . Now I have an oil filled rad in the room I'm getting more stable air temps so I figured I could put it next to the rub on the heat mat , woke up and they had shot to 36 ! Any ideas the best place to put it ? I currently have it in a small plastic tub on the mat as I don't like putting it in the rub with the snake as they have a habit of shifting it around a lot .
any ideas ? Thanks

Have you got any room on one of the mats?

I stuck my stat probe to the mat, in between the two rubs with a bit of blue tac. It stops me moving it by accident and means that it's in the tub with the snake

Leave the stat probe where it was but, try turning the stat down a touch then check it tomorrow morning

With your room being heated now you won't have to worry too much if the temps drop a little low tonight

It's gonna be a bit of trial and error for a bit I guess
