I have 2 corns 2heatmats 2 stats 2 digi-thermometers. Both set ups running at between 26-29 during the day. BUT when i get up in the morning they can both of risen to about 30.5 then drop to proper levels. Are the gremlins out at play or what? |

They are glued down but i suppose they could be moved a little. Just have to put it down to something beyond normal reasoning. Unless my two are getting out on a night and messing with the stats lol. |

another definate possibility :D |

are any of the vivs in direct sunlight? first thing in morning more sun might be getting in??? which on the glass could increase the tempreture.... running through anything i can think of |

It just seems odd as the temp drops in my house at night. Was thinking it could be a compensation for temp dropping at night. |

30.5 shouldnt harm the snake anyway especially for a short amount of time, i think of a night when the house is all closed up there is less opening of doors and windows and such so your room probably gets a little warmer.... in turn the viv will do the same. |

They are on the mats themselves. Have checked them with a very expensive and accurate thermo something or other i borrowed from a friend and they were right to within 0.2 degrees so am mystified. |
