| Yeah they vary about 4 degrees, set it so it cicks on at 26 and leave it for an hour, if it goes about 30 turn it down but only by 0.5mm and leave it another hour and should be all good. |

You will always have a minimum and maximum range for a basic thermostat. As long as the maximum does not go above 30 degrees on the thermometer you will be fine. The thermometer probe should be attached to the stat probe and placed on the middle of the heat mat.

It also depends how much your room temp varys and how well insulated your viv is, mine have wo sheets of glass that the mat goes between, and poltsyrene under neath so they don't vary much but heros rub varys 2 to 3 degrees as its not aswel insulated x |
