An IR temp gun is a necessity for keeping a snake. Temp of the thermostat probe tells almost nothing. Temp of the snake is what counts, and the snake does not want you to put the probe where it will read accurately....;)

now the substrate issue is interesting; i’m gonna try moving the probes to another location away from the substrate and see if that helps

your ground temp is higher than what that’s reading. My anacondas hot spot for example, thermometer reads 83-84 (ambient air temps) while the floor under the heat panel is 87/88 taken with a temp gun. Similar my burm cage thermometer reads 84-85, floor reads 90-91 with a temp gun.

Where is your probe located?

This seems like a thermostat or a probe issue. I'd recommend upgrading to a Herpstat proportional thermostat. The proportional feature is amazing.
