    Thermostat/thermometer different temps?

    I have set up the tub the way that is shown here http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...my-Ball-Python

    The issue I am having is that the thermostat and thermometer read at very different levels. I tested both and they are accurate. Is it because the thermostat is directly on the heat pad where as the probe for the thermometer is on top of the substrate? Currently the thermometer is at 89, but the thermostat is at 98.

    Is this normal or am I doing something incorrectly? I have the thermostat turned up because I want the warm side to sit around 90, when I have the actual thermostat at 90 the thermometer on the substrate reads at 81ish.

    Any ideas?
