Sorry if that came out insulting, but it's intention wasn't supposed to mean anything offensive.

i got the new tank set up just like the old one but the heat mat is outside under neath with the themostat probe on the heat mat under neath. i got the digi thermometer probe on the bottom inside..
I set the thermostat at 95. how long will it take to get the surface inside the tank above 88 cuz its rading 82 right now but thats cuz it just set it up bout 25 mins ago. figure ill give the cycles some time and see how they work.

Hi,


It's a slow process - which is why we normally recomend setting the tank up and playing with it for a couple of weeks before getting the snake.:)

It will take at least a couple of hours between adjustments and settling most of the time - I recommend letting the thermostat go through a couple of on/ off cycles to make sure its stabilized.

i have the thermostat probe outside and it went through 3 cycles but inside its only hit 82.7 at the glass surface

should i move the thermostat probe inside so it can stay on longer and heat up the glass. if t syat outside itll nevr heat it up cuz its 83 in my room

Yeah,


But it's still a good idea to give it a couple of hours between each adjustment as a minimum - remember you have to heat up all the substrate,glass of the tank etc and that takes more than 25 minutes.:)

Well the thermostat probe is supposed to be attatched to the surface of the heatmat on the outside of your tank - that should be heating up as evidenced by the thermostat switching on and off.

Remember human body temp is a factor in whether something feels hot or cold to your touch.:)

No, just turn the temperature up on the thermostat slowly until it reaches 92-94 in the enclosure(preferably 95 on the glass and then you can lay down a THIN layer of substrate.
