    Warm feeling
    OK, so my thermostat is set around 94, thermometer is showing 88-91F with the probe on top of the heating pad (inside of the tank), when I take her out she feels warm, I do keep it pretty chilli in my room, so my temp is a little more low than inside the tank. But is this ok? Is it too hot? I dont know

    Is the probe under the substrate? 94 is the warmest that I keep Tiberius. But even when I do wake him up and he is on the warm side he still feels cool to me.

    the probe is stuck onto the glass with a suction cup!! Gonna hot glue it as soon as I find the hot glue gun lol.

    Should I move the probe for my thermometer away from the center, where the thermostat probe is?

    That temperature is perfectly fine for a hot spot. However, what temperature is "chilli"? The ambient temp in the cage is probably more important than a degree or two of variance over "ideal" hot spot temps.
