heating...
today i checked my thermometer (on the warm side) and it was a regular 80F, so i left the lamp on and the under tank heater on. As i got home, i found my thermometer on the floor of my snakes tank because the sticker wasn't sticky enough. So i just left it there. Soon after i looked at the tempurature and it was at 97F. I placed my palm on the bottom of the tank, and it wasnt that hot.
Are thermometers meant to be placed on the walls of the tank or the bottem??
placing the thermometer on the wall of the warm side is 80F
placing the thermometer on the floor is 95F
Btw. Its a 100Wat red lamp, and a heating pad with Reptile carpet.
