This evening i was fortunate to pick up 3 very nice snakes from someone who is downsizing. a male Karma, Female Black Pastel, and Female Mystic. I was setting up the tubs in my spare bedroom (which is my first time using tubs) and i was putting down the 3" flexwatt that came with it. I have been monitoring the temperature of the strip with my heat gun and ive noticed that only one side of the flexwatt seems to get hot. It does heat up the black stripes but according to my gun, lets say the "left" edge reads like 78, the middle around 85, and the "right" edge reads 95. Im waiting on a new herptsat 2 to get here so she threw in a dial thermostat to get me through until it arrives. the thing is, it keeps shutting on and off and i have yet to see a surface temp in the tubs above 80. I dont know if this means the flexwatt is bad or if it just isnt being allowed to heat up enough with the thermostat kicking on and off. Even plugged straight into the wall, only one side of the tape gets to 105. Any advice would be great.
