You can try to reinvent the wheel if you want, but why not learn from other people's experience rather than put your animal at risk?
Pretty sure I didn't reject anyone's suggestions or comments. Just trying out things. No need to get jiggy.
The experiment has lasted a week now, and I am learning, and I am reading your comments, and I am considering all the options. I would never but my animal at risk. I work at home, I check the temps on that cage like 20 times a day. Don't assume I'm an idiot please.
On a side note. If I switch to double CHE's (1 for ambient and 1 for hotspot), where should I place the probes for these ?

Not getting jiggy, not even sure what that means....
If you heat from above you can dangle the probes below the CHEs, a few inches above the substrate. Then use your temp gun and dial the temps in.

Good idea. I am not sure what getting jiggy is either, no worries. [emoji23][emoji23]

Re: Doing what you aren't supposed to do
Ok so here is an update. This morning I switched to a che. And I suspended the thermostat probe on the hot side.
Is it normal in a 37x18x12 high, wood enclose, that a single 150w che can't get to 90 degrees ?
The top of my hide has a surface
heat of 94 but the probe temp near the floor is around 80.
Am I doing it wrong or is 2 che needed ?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0d35184fd0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...84c486725d.jpg

Re: Doing what you aren't supposed to do
Probe from thermostat is really giving you an ambient temperature. Same with a thermometer probe. You really need an inferred temp gun to get surface temps. It's one of those items that's highly recommended and maybe you have you already? If you do check your temps and see what that gives.
Re: Doing what you aren't supposed to do
I just gave up on the wooden enclosure. I gave it back to Steve my beardy.
I set up my 60 gallon tank for the BP instead. Put the uth under with the probe on the backside. Tested the surface temp with my heat gun to make it 88 to 90 degrees and added my 150w che on top of the hot side. The che is not regulated for now since its a 24" tall tank i doubt there is any need to regulate it.
Right off the bat, its working alot better then my wooden enclosure was.
Any ideas for improvement?
