| If the temperature is reading 84f 4 inches above the substrate then your temperature must be way too high. It should be reading about 84 on the substrate. Put the thermometer probe on the substrate. |

yea, ive just opened the circular thermometer that will go in the viv when it is fully grown (as opposed to the strip thermometer in the plastic viv, and it turns out that the substrate temp is around 30*C. So i should be ok to leave it at that?
you could invest a small amount in a digi thermometer, the dial ones are not very good for giving accurate temps..
this is what i use,

i also have a normal bog standard wilkos thermometer as back up on temps that i put in from time to time to check the temps are not to far out...
I got one of these after seeing it mentioned on here. Excellent thermometer at a great price and really fast shipping.
I would recommend them to anyone.  |
