and I take it your warm end is inside the warm hide and it being 92 - 94f

and naturally i take it your probe is underneath the tub, so that if their water gets knocked over, the temp doesn't rocket yeah?

What thermostat have you got and what temp is it set at to get the right temp inside the tub?

pic is of probe running from a pulse thermostat, carefully taped to the heatmat so cannot fall off. I use 4 thermostats for my current setup and they are all set differently.

Okay Mike. Cheers for that.

Stats can malfunction while leaving all the current going through the adaptor to the plug, that would make the tbu overheat and burn the snakey.

Always have a cool end like mike said.

pulse prop are the best for mats.

I'm with Mike on this one - simply put, if you have a hot spot of greater than 90 degrees it doesn't matter how cold the cold end is! In fact, the larger the gradient the better it is for the snake. Also, I like to use the Microclimate thermostats (as opposed to the Habistat) which have a simple night time drop facility and built in alarm.

In other forums i've read that any temp under 80f can induce RI's etc. I use the lucky reptile thermostats, very accurate. I find the habistat one's a bit inaccurate for warm ends.

So what are people averaging as a cold end temperature?

Doesn't it affect your snake feeding when you have a cold end too cold.
