Ok, I have got the rub all set up and took pics which i am trying to put on. I did some monitoring of the temps and they are as below, still not getting hot enough
At 6am, I originally had the thermo probes at the front of the rub and temps were H: 76 C:71 (The mat stat probe was inbetween the two hides, just slightly off the heat mat side)
6.10am, moved the thermo probes to each side of the rub, behind the hides. Temps: H: 91.6 C: 72.4
Moved the mat-stat probe near the hot hide, on the heat mat-flicked off Temps: H: 85.8 C 71.4
6.20am, Temps: H: 84.4 C: 71.1
6.30am, Temps: H: 82 C: 70.5
When matstat went back on, Temps: H: 81.9 C: 70
6.43am Opened tank (matstat off)- Temps: H 83.7 C:69.6
6.50am - Temps: H: 82.9 C: 70.7
6.55am - (closed viv door slightly) Temps: H: 83.1 C: 70.9
7am - Temps: H: 82.8 C: 70.5
As cold side is closest to the window, I moved the heat mat to the left side of the viv (closest to the window) in the hope that the cooler side temps would rise
7.30am Matsat probe at front of the hot hide under aspen, hot thermo is at the side of hot hide, midway to the back ontop of aspen. Cold thermo is at the side of the cold hide, near the back
Temps: H:77.7 C:73
7.45am Temps: H: 80.2 C: 71.6
7.50am Temps: H: 81.1 C: 71.4
8am Temps: H: 82.9 C: 72
8.05am Temps: H:83.1 C: 72
8.15am Temps: H: 85.5 C: 71.9
8.30am Temps: H: 88 C: 71.8
I have a red UV light, am I going to need to install it? |

Is the cool end not too cold for her tho, the temps now are:
H: 91.4
C: 69.4
Should I put the probes underneath the aspen then, rather than at the side of the viv, near the plastic (cos that is where they are now) |

I hav now moved the temp probe for the cold thermo, to underneath her bed under the aspen, so it not against the cold wall surface...ges this will mean it will read a true reading.
the hot probe is still at the side , just at the back of her hide (inside).
They are reading:
C: 72.1
H: 87.8
The matstat has currently switched off |
