I'm having trouble with getting this right!
We started out with a 8watt under tank mat,
the kind that you stick to the tank. It keeps getting
too hot, so I took it off the tank bottom and stuck it
to the dresser, that only dropped the temp a few degrees!
GRRR! SO, I figured since the room our snake is in never gets
too cold I turned off the heat last night.
I'm shooting for a daytime temp of about 90 degrees and the
mat clocks out at over 105
What do you guys do as far as controlling heat?
I think I'm going to try one of those heating mats they sell for
people. The one I have turns off after a while. I need to find one
that doesn't do that.
I have the tank up off of the mat, about an inch.
Do you think raising it more would help with reducing the temp?!
In a word, HELP!
