Hi all,

I'm sure this question has been asked millions of times, but I wasn't able to find a thread about it. Anyways, my thermometer probes are currently under the bedding in my tank. I turned the thermostat that is hooked up to the UTH all the way up to see, there is no snake in the tank of course, and the thermometer reads 98.2, but when I use an infrared thermometer on top of the bedding, it only reads 87. I am using aspen bedding, not sure if that makes a difference. Should I maybe take some of the bedding out, leaving a thinner layer?

Thanks!
