Do you mean the warm side is dropping to 16c at night or the cool side?

The heatmat when attached to a thermostat should keep an almost constant heat day and night. Are you turning the heat mat off at night? I can't understand how it would drop so low with the heat mat still on. I have fauns with heat mats underneath and kitchen roll substrate and my warm sides are between 28-30c day and night.

I would hope its refering to the cold side, and its probably due to ambient temp of the room its in. I know my cold end fluctualtes less dramatically, dependant on what temp in the house is etc.

do you turn the mat off at night, the heating should be on all the time so your temps should make that dramatic a change.

What are you using to monitor the temps
