Normaly I find it changes +/- 4*C. How long have you had it set up? The temps should settle within a few hours.

Where is the thermometer probe? I guess a pic of the two probes positions may help.

The only thing I can think of is to thin the substrate out a bit more.

I got wood chippin substrate; and the mat is a powerfuller one from my old one which is outside the viv;

I got my stat and thermo probe in the warm hide; which varies between 26-30 degrees. (depending on the weather aswell; viv being in a conservatory and gets about 4 hours of sunlight a day)

the roof also helps deflect the suns rays; its like corregated iron. but plastic.
