I've been using a Habistat Mat stat for my corn & and the temps are fairly stable, only varying slightly as the stat comes on and off. But I've just got a Microclimate stat for my Carpet and the temps are peaking at 31 but dropping to 24/25. I want to get in there and try messing with the probe position but don't want to disturb him as he's still in the 7 day rule. Has anyone else experienced such a wide range in temps ??????? |

As above. I had exactly the same problem with the Microclimate on/off stat. Since I changed to pulse stat, I haven't looked back. They're Microclimate as well, but they keep the temps really well. I wouldn't go to on/off stat again. |

Get yourself a pulse stat now and run the mat off it and when you put him in his viv you can use this stat for the ceramic bulb. I had the same issue with my Microclimate mat stat but I believe the dimming and pulse stats are better (I hope so as I have got 2 Microclimate prime 2's in their boxes waiting to be fitted) |

he's still tiny about 18 inches, but I'll be get his new viv sorted soon and I'll be using overhead heating as i want him out basking as much as possible, i don't think I'll be using Microclimate again as I've only had limited experience with the brand and am not pleased, first had a mat that lasted a matter of a month and went on the blink and now the stat. Whereas all my habistat products are spot on!!!! |

Got them banded together in the middle of the mat. The stat knocks off and doesn't kick back in until the temps have dropped alot |

Microclimate on'off stats are known to not be as stable as habistats.
Where do you have the stat n thermometer probes |

He's currently in a small terrarium using a heat mat. It's the same setup that i used for my corn with no problems the only thing that has changed is the stats |
