I'm having trouble keeping my snakes hot side between 27 - 29 degrees, or 80 - 84 Fahrenheit. The stat, a MicroClimate 100, is set to 27, but yet the thermometer shows the temperature inside the faun to be going up to 34 degrees/94 Fahrenheit.

Before I put the snake in there, the temperature would stay a constant 78 - 84, now that he's in there it's rocketed for some reason? does anyone know how i could keep the temp lower?

Thanks..
