But the advice still stands. Make sure your probes are in the right place. Your thermoSTAT probe should be on the outside of the enclosure directly on the heat mat. The thermomMETER probe should be in the enclosure, under the substrate directly over the heat mat. This will give you a reading of the hottest point the snake can reach.



Thanks for all your replies im going to be a digital thermomter/hygrometer ASAP!
