Hi, how are you measuring the temperatures?
Heat Mats don't heat the air, so unless the thermometer is on the substrate above the heat mat you won't see anything. Also, if it is one of those Dial Thermometers they aren't very accurate, you can pick up a cheap digital one from ebay for about a fiver.
Thanks for the advice. I have been reading through forum info since Rhys posted our ?'s has helped loads. Will check temp again in the morning, need to move thermometers down as 1/2 way up tank - did that before getting all the info! Dial ones at the moment but digital ones a.s.a.p. Thanx again
thx for all the advice moved thermometers down a bit difference between the 2 is 10 degs cornflake(the snake)is perfectly happy self-regulating himself thx again
