dont know if either will work but uno for a heatspot with a ceramic (and i know i should get a bulb but my room freezes over at night so this way i can leave it on 24/7) which method would you use 4 getting the heatspot and ambient temperatures right?
would you stick the sensor on the rocks of the heat spot and set the thermo 2 the max of the spot?
or put it as an ambient around the middle and do guess work 2 get it about right?

It would be more important to get the ambient temperature correct if like you say your room gets real cold at night and put the probe in the middle of the viv, the hot spot can be achieved by putting a large rock or log under the lamp. Very Happy
