rite we got our two corns set up identical , both in medium flat fauns , ontop of our royal viv , we use one heat mat , statted in one of the fauns , and then have a digi thermom in each warm end , by their hides . the one with the stat in did have the temp probe taped to the stat . only trouble is we keep having two different temps in their warm ends . kai is in the one without the stat and the temps are a few degree's higher than kodi's . i was wondering could we put the stat probe outside the fauns in the middle of the mat and then have their two temp probes in both warm ends? would that make a difference ? or would it not be as good as the heat has to penetrate the plastic in the faun ? thanks :)

how are you heating the royal, is the faun that has a higher temp over the bulb if you are using one.

my first thought too G
also, have the mats been switched on for the same length of time? might be worth switching the warmer one off till the temps match, then set them both going again.........are the mats identical too?
