| Hi day time temps are fine,31-33.5 hot spot.But late at night/early hours morn, when the house tempature drops,i am getting higher hot spot temps of up to 36c my kamodo digi temp got a max and min reading letting me know the temps. I think the colder nights are making the ceramic work harder.Is this ok or should i put a heat mat on back wall of viv to help keep temp,Or should i move the pulse prob closer to the ceramic,as at the moment its half way down the viv on back wall. |

Your right it's the colder nights that's making it go higher
It's best to try diffrent things to try and solve the problem
If you can get your probe in the line of sight of the ceramic bulb
And the nearer the better to the bulb ;) |

Jimmer are you using a thermostat?
That should control the temperature and keep it constant :) |

| Doesn't a thermostat just adjust itself accordingly to keep it at the set temperature? |

| I think the thermostat sensor and thermometer probe are supposed to be in the same place so if you put them together and set the temperature to 33c (using the thermometer reading arther than the stat dial) that should do the job then shouldn't it? |

I'm no expert on this but if you set the therm probe close to the hot spot,where your snake lays and a thermometer to keep check.
A second thermometer at the cool end it should even out depending on your room temp.
lol alright now we are even.. aja beat me ;P |
