Pg. 2, I tested my readings after MOD against "stock" and they were within .1 Deg. I posted these results and offered additional assistance to others via PM's when requested. This sticky is not meant for argumentative reasons kitedemon, so please stop posting on this thread

As a note and a disclaimer for the MOD in this Sticky, I do not rely exclusively on my digital temp sensors that I modified in this tutorial for my enclosures, (they are for basic reference only). I have used (and continue to use) a digital infrared temp gun from Reptile Basics to check, monitor and compare my temperature gradients several times per week. I do not recommend relying on enclosure only sensors, as they can malfunction or provide less than ideal accuracy.

My Herpstat Pro continuously maintains and proportionally adjusts the temperatures in all of my enclosures 24-7. My enclosure sensors are used for quick reference in easy to see real time readings that are also compared to my Herpstat Pro. I can glance at them when changing the water daily and if something looks off or different, I can check the enclosure with my infrared gun to verify that everything is ok, or if something is indeed out of whack.

It is my recommendation that you employ as many fail-safes and backups for your husbandry as possible. There are ways to do it affordably and without spending unnecessary money, which is why this was posted in this DIY forum section. Good luck every one and keep your imaginations alive!
