I have set up my thermostat and after plenty of tweeking i am still getting a 30.7C and 26.7c. is this a decent temp range? |

I have found that my Microclimates do have a larger variance than the habistats.
To be honest it's not something I'm overly fussed with though, it stops the mat getting to hot and warms it up if it gets to cool.

Do microclimate on/off stats have more of a variance than habistat on/off stats then as I have the habistat matstat and the biggest difference I ever get is about 1 and a half degrees C? |

it's really down to it being an on/off type stat - you'll always have some variation in temps, but corns are pretty hardy |

my microclimate also swings between around 26 and 31 on seemingly a minute by minute basis. Was going to swap it for a habistat but as K says, it averages out at the correct sort of temp, and snakes don't seem to be bothered by it so I've left it in for the time being.  |

My heat mat stat is a microclimate and, like yourself, with lots of tweeking I now have temps from 28.5/29.5*C at my warm end (measured from bottom of faun with digi therm probe) and cool end is just room temp. |

yea i have an elastic band keeping the probe and the thermometer side by side, good to know it should be fine. he was more than fine warming himself a while ago so think that is a good sign. thanks for the advice/ |

With something like a microclimate ministat 100 I'd say that's not far off normal to be honest.
It's keeping it in the ideal range 27-29c and it's not letting the mat overheat or allowing it to drop to 20c so everything is good.
I'm assuming you're measuring the temps with a digital thermometer with the probe near the stat probe?
Again, if so then there's nothing to worry about, I have a near identical temp variance with my ministat 100s. |
