thats fine for night temperatures, what do you have during the day on the warm side?

Thermostat probe should be directly on the heatmat with the digital therm. There should only be a light covering of substrate over the heat mat.

Is the bulb guarded.

i have the thermostatat sensor on the warm side and digital thermometer? and a thermometer on cold side
no heat lamp as ive been advised against it on here. just a day light low watt bulb which i turn off at night? how long should i leave it off? and the mat is inside and its made of wood. where is the correct possistion to place the thermostat sensor.

thanks

Also, do you mean you have a heat lamp in the viv?

Any photos of the setup?

Where are you measuring the temperature from?
What are you measuring the temperature with?
What is the vivfaun made of (glass,wood etc)?
Where is the heatmat? (underneath, inside...)?
