Hello guys,
I need urgent help regarding heating, I use habistat heat mat 11x11 inch 12w with habistat mat stat and habistat reptile radiator with habistat pulse stat to keep ambient temperature. Exo terra is raised on the bottom and when I put mat underneath with probe sandwiched in between and glass, I doesn't provide enough belly heat checking with my IR temp gun, the surface is very very thin layer of soil so he doesn't lay on glass when in the hide.

I plugged the mat without a stat, it raises to 120 deg Celsius and my BP starts thermo-regulating, but that's too dangerous, with a stat he climbs up to reptile radiator and sandwiches himself between rad and the guard!!!!

So for now I took the probe out and stuck it to the outside of heat mat, I switched off the rad too. I am freaking out, I had him for 5 days now and he hasn't settled yet due to temperature problem.

Please please help.

PS: sorry for late replies I'm about to go to work.
