    Re: uth temp

    Well, you want the top of the substrate to be around 90 degrees. So the thickness of the substrate will have an affect on that temp.

    Re: uth temp

    Ok, you want the hot spot to be like 90-92. Now this temp should be at the bottom. So if you're using a glass tank, set the probe on the glass and the same if you're using a tub. You don't want that any higher, cause the snake can move the substrate and lay on the bare bottom.
