Trouble getting temps right
I just purchased a zoo-med repti therm uth and installed it per instructions with a zoo-med repti-temp rheostat (which is set at the lowest setting). On the warm side I have got the temp to a constant 92 degrees on top of the bedding and it is 98 degrees at the very bottom (approx 3 inches of bedding) so I believe that is okay. On the cool side though my temp is at 89 degrees because of the CHE lamp but without it is dropping down to 78 degrees. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this. I am using a digital gauge to check the temos and also have a Flukers thermo-hygrometer. My ambiant temp is at 86 degrees. Any help would be appreciated. (BTW it is a 10 gallon glass tank that is being used)
Thanks,
Maria

‘We all operate in two contrasting modes, which might be called open and closed. The open mode is more relaxed, more receptive, more exploratory, more democratic, more playful and more humorous. The closed mode is the tighter, more rigid, more hierarchical, more tunnel-visioned. Most people, unfortunately spend most of their time in the closed mode.’
