Massive temperature spike in enclosure

[Prognathodon]

Like CALM, we put the probe about halfway between the panel and the floor; for our 3 ft. tall AP cages with basking shelves we treat the shelf as the floor for probe placement.

What are you setting the t-stat to and what temperatures are you achieving?

I will have to play around to get it to work for my setup of course but I'm curious how accurate or high / low it makes the temps having the probe against the panel.

That does look much better than random hanging wires though

Two are for my GTP and ETB in 24 inch tall cases. I start with the top perch at 85 and don't worry about below as that's my hotspot. My cage floor is around 78 to 81 under the rhp.

My others are in 4ft x 2ft x 15 inch cages. I only use them on really cold days as they were just not working well for me in such a big cage, not to provide hotspot and ambient temps.

IMHO a rhp is best in a arboreal setup. Using it any other setup the cage should be no more than 15 inch tall.
