| With the microclimate stats, I get a smaller variation when I have a sheet of polystyrene under the rubs/fauns/vivs as well. |

But if the room temp is say 18 degress, it will drag it down quiet quickly when the heat mat is turned off by the stat. I have the same problem in my bedroom (where the snake is). Its a south facing room, gets no sun at all during the day and the average room temp is 17-18*C. When the stat turns off i can see the temp on my thermometer dropping. it drops a degreee or two and turns back on, drops about another half a degree and then stops and slowly brings it back up to 29.5*C. And i am sure it will get even colder at night. Is the radiator on in that room? I havent even turned the heating back on in my flat yet. Its still summer (if you can call it summer)
As i said yesterday there is no need to worry, these types of temperatures happen in the wild and they survive out there  |

I want the best for Cyrus and £38.00 isnt really much to pay for something that'll hopefully last years :-) |

Just rememeber to keep the box and receipt as well, habistat have a superb returns/warranty facility, think they'll fix or replace any broken stat within 5 years for a few quid (postage) if you still have the receipt. |

well i have to say, after having recieved my HabiStat Pulse Thermostat, its the dogs danglies!
I checked my temps this morning and it had a high of 30.8 and a low of 28.9 so much much better than my on/off microclimate 100w.
I have reset my thermometer readings and will check again when i get home, but i have to say that for £38.00 i reccommend anyone to get it! |
