Dial thermometers are (in my opinion) about as useful as an ejector seat for a helicopter.
In regards someone said about heat-mats possibly cracking glass, although this has been known to happen it has also only ever happened on unstat'd mats. For it to happen with a mat that is stat'd then something would have to be drastically wrong with the stat/mat.

I doubt that anything the vivarium is made of (glass, plastic, wood) is going to have a problem with such a low temperature.



not having a dig, but do a little experiment for me, and post the results, i assume you have a digital theremometer, take the probe and hold it in your hand, see what temps your hands are.
I did this a while ago, and i will compare my hand temp to yours.
As i said, its not a dig, but more of a little experiment to prove what you said wrong am afraid! Dont take it personally please.
