Hello!
I have been regulating my Herpstat 2 for a while, it is currently running one rack -- Which only has two tiers with flexwatt set up until I solder the rest.
I am putting a yearling ball python and an older ball python in Sterilite (28qt) tubs.
Anyways I'm stuck with some questions because I honestly would rather ask and be safe than hurt my "children."
My Herpstat 2 Questions/Settings:
1.) I set it as 92.0*F on Dimming (Heat), but it doesn't get past 28%... Is that okay? I noticed that it turns off the power strip, I assume it's to prevent going past your desired heat? Will this cause my ball pythons to have moments where they are cold? It turns back on literally within a second.
2.) What is AO & IO in safety? I have mine set to IO (Exclude H/L) randomly.
3.) I plugged in another probe and set it up as Dimming (Heat), it is not connected to any power strips on that side. Is it okay to use the probe to watch the cool side? Since there's nothing connected, do I need to have it as maximum power or does that not matter? Does it need to be under Dimming (Heat)? This probe reads 100%, unlike the side that actually is giving off heat. The side is at 80.1*F.
In advance, thank you. I may or may not have any more questions. I did read the manual, but first-hand help really makes me feel secure.
