how hot do i set me thermostat for ball pythons?

So I just bought a rack at the expo I went to today, just curios how hot do I set the temp to on my herpstat 1? thanks guys!

You need to set the thermostat to whatever temperature that achieves a 88-92 degree hot side in the tubs. Where is your thermostat probe located?

Do you know how to change settings on the herpstat one, or do you need help with that?

We should be good on setting it up, I did not buy a temp gun will I be ok for a little wwhile until I purchase one?

Do you have any sort of thermometer?

Is the thermostat probe placed directly on the heat tape, it is inside a tub? Somewhere else? Where the probe is varies exactly how it is set up.

Should I be placing the probs on the heat tape before I program the herpstat? It will be on the second shelf out of 4 shelfs.

You can set it up first, but you are going to have to adjust the settings once everything is setup as well.

I would suggest you use the following base settings:

Output Mode: heat (dimming) aka proportional

Daytime Temperature: 95 F

Night Drop: off

sorry, the heat tape is getting hot but the bins are not, the rack is from greg west.

You are probably going to have to increase the daytime temperature setting on the herpstat. Without any sort of thermometer this process is going to be very difficult.

What style rack is this, what size tubs does it have, and what brand tubs?

13.5 Qt bins, and they're just stacking bins, as it says on the front of the bin, its for juiv balls.
