Okay so I was all hyped to get these RHPs but have had nothing but trouble with the temps in my T10.
The temperature in our bedroom is warm right now, around 75- 79(this is where the boas cage is). The temps on the cool side of the cage are 83, the temps on the warms side are also 83 with the floor under the RHP 84. If I bump up the temp to create a hot spot its going to overheat the cage.
I have a 80 watt RHP on a Herpstat 2. The probe is in the back of the cage hanging about 2 inches off the floor.
When it was cooler weather the cool side was 81 and the hotspot was in the high 80's and seemed to fine for her. She rarely moves from the cool side even after eating.
I wonder if I should get a smaller RHP?
I really wanted to get away from Flexwatt which ive always used, My dh feels its unsafe.
I just cant figure out what Im doing wrong. Maybe Ive got the Herpstat set wrong?
