Right Guys and Gals,
I've got a heat mat that came with a viv (second hand) and its not heating up. I've had to rewire it to get it out of the viv and i've wired it back up and no heat! It gets luke warm but not hot enough to heat a viv. I am thinking that this is a dodgy mat and i'm not too bothered but this is the second large heat mat i've had that doesn't heat. Am I being stupid or just bad luck.
Cheers |

| I was being dumb, I was measuring it using touch not real thermometers. I stuck a thermo on there and it was reading at 31C. Perfect! :) |
