Zoo med UTH & Herpstat 2 ?'s

[martin82531]

I was instructed by others on here to have the probe on top of the glass and thought that was odd. I will move both of those today then.

With the temp guns, if I spot check the glass above the heat mat will I be getting the temp of the glass or will it go through the glass and give me the temp of the mat? I have never used one but have one on order.

The stat is set to dimming, with night cycle option off. I will reset it to default and reprogram it after I move the probes.

Thanks

I second guess using IR guns with a glass enclosure due to the reflection from the IR beam. I use the below thermometer, I know some have mentioned not using batteries inside the enclosure due to corrosion, I have be using this setup for over a year, haven't had any issues with the battery leaking or corroding. I place the outdoor probe on the inside directly about the UTH on the inside.
