So, I got my new guy on Monday night and he came with a RUB and heat mat. I bought a habistat mat stat to attach the heat mat to and placed the probe on top of the heat mat as I have read to do in numerous forums and webpages. My problem is that the hot end of the RUB is still a good 10 degrees off what it should be which is worryingly too low!

I popped my digital thermometer probe in the rub and I am getting high humidity and low temperature. I have popped the mat stat probe inside the RUB on the substrate to see if this will help build the temperature but I honestly have no idea what I am doing. I have my girl in a viv and I plan to put my new guy in one when I can afford the ceramic fitting for it.

I need to heighten my temperature and lower my humidity for this guy. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
