So first of all no animal is currently housed in this tank. This is my first tank ever, and I'm having some problems getting the hotspot too the temperature I want it too be, i have a standard petstore UTH heatpad by I belive zoo med, and a VE-100 thermostat. I have the prob laying over the hotspot of the tank, right where the heat mat is, but sometimes the probe will say 90 F and ill temp gun the bottom of the tank and it'll be 110 F on the bottom while the substrate is about 80, so I'm wondering if anyone here has any advice for me, because I obviously don't want too cook the snake when i put her in her new house.
