Reptilebasics heat tape issues
Hey guys, so I set up two 3'Lx2'Wx1'H pvc cages made by reptile basics. So I purchased the under tank heat tape that they offer with the cages. I thought that it would actually heat the whole cage, rather than just where that tape touches.
So I set the the thermostat probe just floating in the cage so that I could get the ambient air temp up, I turned everything on and came back a couple hours later and the air temp was at 72°(thought that was odd) I touched where the pad sits and it was extremely hot, I put the probe there and it climbed to 163° (would burn the heck out of my hognoes) so now I have the probe sitting where its supposed to on the mat, and the air is back to 65°-70°(not warm enough)
My question is how can I hear the air in the cage without dropping another $200 on two RHP, and without drilling into the new cages
