ok well assuming my digital thermomter is accuratly giving my an ambient air temp of 89 degrees (Which is it right now) on the hot side, is it safe to assume I am not overheating my tank, even though the more innacurate dial thermomters may be showing a higher temp directly on the glass?



EDIT- I just placed the probe directly on the basking surface and found the temp to be way too high. (100) No worries though as my snake is currently chilling on the cool side of the tank.

So now Im stuck trying to figure out how to keep the ambient air temp warm enough while still not cooking her on the bottom of my tanks surface.
