I'm still having temperature problems in Oliver's tank. I purchased one of those infrared thermometers that you can spot check temps all around the tank. Thank God, because I almost had a heart attack when the probe thermometer in the tank on hot side read 100F. When I used the infrared thermometer, I got a reading of 81 on the bottom of the tank and 90 on the top of his rock under the basking lamp. Aargh!!!!!


The hot probe is anchored in the tank above the UTH under Oliver's large stone hide. The cold side is reading in the 70s/80s, which I believe is fine. Those temps check out with the infrared thermometer. Should I move the hot probe to another location in the tank?




I'm desperately confused..... Could the probe thermometer be broken?


Thanks,
P.
