What do you keep your BP Thermostat set at?

Hey everyone,
Well the title basically says it all. Now I know everyone has their own opinion and whatever works best for them is great. I was just curious to see what the majority of users have their thermostat set it.

I set mine based on the temp needed inside the enclosure. If that shifts (with the seasons) then the stat temp gets adjusted.

This is done regularly on my ReptiTemp stats. :)

for you who use temp guns

what temp do you check with the gun?, the bps body heat?

Both sides of the tub, not so much the snake.

Since it's a laser, not a good idea to aim it at any living thing. Use temp guns to measure the surface temp of the warm and cool sides, usually under the hides.

I set my T-stat at 95 on one rack, and 100 on the other, but the tubs don't get that hot. I use a temp gun in the tubs to get them as close to 92 as possible, on the hot spot.

My helix is set at 97 on my racks. :D that keeps the tubs at 92-90 hot and 80-85 cool.

Actaully, with exception of the eye, it's perfectly fine to put the laser on anything you want.

This is what I do too. Right now mine is at 100. To get a good hot spot inside the tubs.

My basement is on the cooler side so I have to set my thermostat to 105 to get the right gradient. When I use my temp gun I usually check the hot side, cool side, and sometimes the snake.
