Why aren't caresheets the same on temps?

[Mr Oni]

What is my temps supposed to be?
Im reqding different caresheets and posts.

Ive been searching for an answer but im seeing too many that are unalike.
I'm seeing some caresheet temps that are almost identical to corn snakes 80-85 warm 75-80 cool.

Also seeing 92-94 warm and 82-84 but not more than 95.
Then im getting anywhere between 85-94 is fine.
Also 88-90 warm 82-84 cool.

I would really like to know so i don't jack up my new baby.

Thanks

Most of us keep our hot spots between 90-95*. Cool side should be between 75-85*

I understand there is a lot of contradictory information out there. Make sure you have some reliable thermometers and a thermostat to control your heat source and you should have no problems getting the correct them.

There is a difference between what temperatures are acceptable and what are ideal. This can account for some of the variation that you see.

The ideal ranges are 78-82 degrees on the cool side and 88-92 degrees on the hot side. No part of the cage should get below 75 or above 95.

Not all caresheets are created equal. the caresheet on this site (linked to below) is one of the best.

Alright.
Yeah i have the combination digital thermometer and hygrometer by Zilla.

Thing is the area where heating pad is fine fluxing from 88-93 but the cool side is hitting from 70-75 and thats really bugging me.

I dont want to use the heat lamp because winter is already having me spray many times throughout the day to keep humidity.

Thanks for helping me out guys.

I highly suggest that you read this thread as well. It covers thermometers, thermostats, and heat sources.

Thanks, i have read it before.
I own a Milk snake so i know the equipment and i search through until i cannot find an answer before i post.

The thing is i have a bigger viv, this is first ball and now going blue...which is why i want to avoid turning the heat lamp on since humidity sucks.

So as of now my cool side is 75, warm side is from 82-86 and warm hide is at 88-92.
Im just trying to know if my bumble bee will be okay.

You could get a low wattage bulb with a lamp dimmer to make it so just hits around 80. Your humidity wouldn't take too much of a hit. However there is probably a better solution. Just an idea though

[Mr Oni]

Well it means alot even for good ideas, thank you. I went out and bought a pro series Reptitherm 500r.
So now Ill see how that works. Thanks everyone.
