temperature fluctuation

[jrosen123]

Hey

I have a question regarding temperature fluctuation in my tank.

What is the most the tank should fluctuate during the day?

On the hot side it seems to vary between 89 F and 94 F

It seems like this is too much.

any suggestions and replies would be gretaly appreciated

Thanks

What is your heat source? How are you controlling it? How are you measuring it?

Generally, your hot side shouldn't fluctuate more that +or- 3 degrees

Temps should not fluctuate unless you're not using a controlling device, or have a rheostat instead of a thermostat.

EVERY snake enclosure needs a thermostat to control the heat. Without it, temps fluctuate at best and spike to over 100 at worst.

Let us know the rundown of your tank: heat source, how it's controlled, how you measure temps, substrate, etc. With that info, we can help you reduce fluctuations.
