What temperature do you put on your thermostat?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I have my probe on a little piece of sterilite so it can measure the heat so I have mine on 91 but I also have a temp gun and when I measure the temperature of the heat tape its around 102. Should that be right?

There is really no answer for that it depends on a lot of things, type of heat source, thermostat itself, tubs, substrate, where the thermostat is placed, ambient room temp that could affect the probe etc.

I have some thermostat that are set to 80 and provide a hot spot of 83 (Colubrids)

I have some T-Stat set on 88 and the hot spot is at 88, I also have some set on 94 and the hot spot is at 88.
