Hello, I have a Animal Plastics t8 with a pro products heat panel that I'm having a hard time getting right. The surface temp under the panel is getting to 104 degrees when on at 100%. Im using a herpstat 2 set to 88 with the probe 3/4 down the wall on the warm side which gets the cool Side to 78 ambient. My problem is the 104 surface temp under the heat panel, and not sure what is best to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
