Hi,

Hence my suggestion to make sure the heatmat can get the job done first - if it can then the thermostat simply doesn't have a wide enough range.

Trying to find a place to put the probe where it doesn't get heated as much by the matt is a tricky solution as it leads to other possible problems.

Couple of things to check first just to rule them out.

How and where are you measuring the temps (i.e. above or below the substrate, inside or outside the hide etc.)

How long are you leaving the temps to stabilise between changes?

If the worst comes to the worst can you get refunds/ replacements for either the thermostat or heat mat?
