Rack Issues need help

[fLako0aGuiiLaR]

Ok guys so i have a 7 level rack system that i builded myself, lately i been getting more snakes and today i got a adult Pastel Lesser enchi ball python. i prepared his new tub in the 4th level of my rack and everything and when i checked his hotspot temps, my temp gun was reading 83 and in my top level was at 91 why do i have 7 degree difference and how do i get my 4 level to be at 90 degrees ???
i dont want to increase my herpstat temps cus if i do it my 4th level will be at 90 but obviously my firsts levels will be more than 90 cus of the temp difference im having
PLEASE HELP ME I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANY ADVICE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED
I DONT WANT TO KEEP MY NEW SNAKES WITHOUT THEIR PROPER HOTSPOT TEMPS

FYI: im using a 4" THG Heattape and a Herpstat 2 which i have at 96 to hit a 90 degrees

sorry for the long story
and thanks

Sounds like a Pain in the A$$! I think that the wiring is faulty, the only reason I have seen this to be is that somewhere your electrical current is compromised I would recommend rewiring that section of heat tape, if all the racks to whatever tubs are after the cold one (which is likely) then you will have to find the miss wiring and repair it.

Damn sounds complicated but i will check it tomorrow morning
i remember when i went to the pet store and i saw a ball python with a sign that said "Great for beginners"
now i see that it was fake lol

i been having lots of problems 

Racks usually have a difference between the lowest tub and the highest. The best way to get the least amount of difference is to mount the tstat probe near a middle tub. Your going to have a temp difference especially in a tall rack like that. As long as all the numbers are in range I wouldn't worry about it much.

No QT?

No QT?

I got it from a friend do you think i should put him on QT?

I would be recommended but if you cant then you cant.

I would be recommended but if you cant then you cant.

i will build one this week just for that i prefer to spend some money on a new rack than spend hundreds on vet visits
thanks for you advice

Yeah not fun. like KMG said their will be some fluctuation but I've never had a 7 degree difference between just 4 racks.
I always Quarantine mine no matter what or where I got it from.

So you also recommend me to check my wiring?
