The temp with a thermal gun shows spikes of 97 degrees and the temp on the thermostat will reach 92-93, so I lowered the temp to 87, but the temp still gets to the 90s with the gun and the temp on the thermostat. I’m afraid I’m going to bake my new friend, so I’m currently heating her enclosure with an overhead light. Is there something I’m not seeing here? I started off with the zoo med uth, but it never got warm at all, so I switched to the vivisun. Any help would be appreciated
I used a Zoo Med UTH for about a year and it worked fine for me. I've never used a Vivisun. I currently use heat tape. Pics of your enclosure would help us advise you. This thread will show you how to post them: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-Post-Pictures.
