Recently i have purchased a 4 draw medium rack system from reptile basics with the belly heat version. Also a herpstat 2 to regulate it. The temps are basically driving me crazy. I've read that placing the probe on the second from button will give me the best results also that the top rack won't be as hot as the others since it really only has 1 strip of the heat tape. Now my problem is the hot spots, top rack 85-90, middle 2 89-93 but my buttom 1 is anywhere from 95-101 when I have my herpstat set to 95.5 and yes the probe is sitting on top of the heat tape. What could be causing my bottom rack to be so hot when I don't even run the temps that high? Anyone have experience with this or have an idea on how to cool it down a bit? Planned on picking up my second Bp soon and more in the future so I want to Get it right.
Oh and I wanted to mention I'm using a zoomed inferred tempgun, not sure exactly how accurate they are.
