So heres my setup: Im testing temps before I put any snakes in
Ranco hooked up to a Delonghi oil filled heater. It is set to 80, with a 4 degree buffer. So when it hits 80 it turns it off, and when it hits 76 it turns it on again.
My pvc rack fits 8 tubs in 4 shelves. Has belly heat at the back. My herpstat probe is taped to the hottest shelf on the heat tape. I've been testing the temps and I thought that having the oil filled heater would fix my temp issues with the rack but there still seems to be a problem.
Temps on shelves:
Top: 87-89 hot spot, 78-80 cool
2nd Row: 90-95 hot spot, 78-80 cool
3rd Row: 90-92 hot spot,78- 80 cool
4rth Row: No tubs in yet
So now my problem is the top shelf doesnt have a temp of 90 or above. Dont bp's need a certain temp to digest food? Why is there such a range in my temps still, even though I have the room between 76-80 at all times? It doesnt matter too much at the moment because I wont have more than four snakes in that rack, but it still bothers me a bit.
Any help is good
