    Where do you have the probe placed on the glass or top of the substrate.

    How big is the tank, how cold is the room, and what type of bulbs are you using? (regular household light bulbs, heat bulbs, other?)

    If you aren't using a UTH then I would move the thermometer probe closer to the surface of the substrate

    I would put it just under the surface.

    Are you using bulbs like these: http://m.petsmart.com/mt/www.petsmar...ductId=2752598

    I agree put your probe on the surface right under the hide that way you know the temp where your bp is laying.
