Temps!! Temps!! Temps!! they are driving us mad!! we have got a stat for the heat mat but when we have the stat on the mat it wont even get warm, when we take the stat of it goes through the roof!!
The light as a dimmer on it its only 60watt but again it dose not even change the temps in any way, we need to get the temps right as he is starting to shed milky eyes any advice would be great. |
