Ok...I have a 41qt sterilite container. On the hot side I have flexwatt hooked to a Johnson stat. It set on 102. This translates (usually) to a floor temp of 91-92. My hide which is a ceramic pot seems to be hotter usually 4-5* No big deal. My cool side seems to stay between 82-84 and ambient 86-88. SOmetime however in the afternoon my temps spike. When I get home the max temps in my hide reads 105-109*. I drilled vent holes in the hot hide ...didn't work, I tried a coconut shell, didn't seem to hold the heat. I even noticed my cool side spiked to 91*. What could cause the temps swings with a thermostat? I have my probe duct tape right to the flexwatt as well. Any help...greatly appreciated.
