Secondary UTH for Ball Python

[Zincubus]

I forgot to ask in my last reply: Given the the temperature of the tank floor is what matters, should I set my thermostat to the temperature I want it to be so that the tank floor is 90 degrees, or should I set my thermostat above that temperature so the substrate surface reaches the temps I want? The latter seems dangerous for the reason you stated, they could bury and get burned, but the former seems to not keep them warm enough. Which would you recommend?

Well .. Imho

The highest temp .. 92F is the commonly quoted figure, should be the floor.. as the snake will get down there if it wants ..

So what kind of thermometer are you using ??

A stick on , as I described previously , or something else ??

I'm kinda getting the impression that you don't have a thermometer...

You cannot trust the temp readings on your stat incidentally.. that's just a very rough guide .

You set the temp you want eg. 92F with a digital thermometer , ideally a 10 dollar digital temp gun .
