| hi all my temps keep fluctuating between 27.9 and 29.5 just gets to top level then drops again :/ he thermo probe and stat probe are both inside on the floor above mat , does the outside air and temp have an effect ? I have just changed my room around as she was tucked away in corner and was wondering if the change has unsettled the temps and as it is now in a more open part of room the air circulating may of affected it ?? She is curled up under the warm hide at the mo but has had a wander, also I have the heat mat under the faun with the faun legs holding it in place, will that be enough air flow gap ? i have a habitat mat 6 x 11 " 7 watt . thanks all |

that temp range sounds fine and is typical of that type of stat 
don't panic!!   |
