if its like mine I get lower temps during the night, so when I check what max and min has been i get about the same readings
depends how warm your room gets too i find, if we have the heating on drying clothes on the radiators, the temp rises so i adjust the stat, etc etc
Hope that helps |

| Matty where have you put the probe from the stat. The temps shouldnt be that much of a difference. What are you measuring the temp with? |

ok cheers lee i will try that.
im just worried that if i cant get it working correct a big jump in temps will harm snowy.
it does take a long time to go from 85 - 74 its not a fast jump but i will go do it now and see what happens
cheers

| Is it a wooden viv with the mat inside or a glass viv with the mat outside. Sounds like the stat might not be working properly. |

lol, it doesnt smell or look like food. I dont go around eating bricks or phones etc.. 
There was a thread on the dark side a while ago though about a snake eating a thermometer probe, wasnt a corn though. |

Apparently microclimate's are less accurate than habistat stats. |

| I have heard that microclimates ar`nt that accurate. I would say it is the stat. I have got a Habistat pulse stat and the temp stays at 86.4 no matter what the weather. |

| another thing to consider is if the snake had been in the cool end, then goes and 'parks' itself up against the therm probe in the warm end.................... giving you a falsely low reading! |
