How do i ensure the heat mat doesn't overheat? What is the best stat? A pulse stat? How much aspen do i put over it before it doesn't act as a insulator?
best with either a matstat (on / off) or a pulse stat both these mats are fine for mats. you really only need 1 cm of aspen over the hot end dont really need much more than that. Do you already have a corn living in the viv,
yeah i do. He's called Alice. I hear that hides over the heat mat cause insulation so i only have a hide over the cold end. Would that stop my corn going over to the warm end?
edited to add, you really need t get a stat, this will cause heating issues,least of all with your snake possibly ending up with burns. Unstatted mats can reach very high temperatures.
can i put the probes at the edge of the mat (but on the black where the heat comes from) and weigh the probes down with the hide or does the probes have to be in the middle?

Ok put the mat back on base of viv but what next?
