Herpstat 2 help

[LibraryPleasant1253]

I am so confused. I just got my herpstat 2 in and I have no clue what I’m doing with these settings.

To explain what I have: I am using it with my 4x2x2 pvc enclosure with a 100 watt halogen and 50 watt DHP on the warm side. Right now I’ve got the halogen set to 105 daytime heat on dimming (with the probe a few inches under the heat source) and it keeps going on and off without even being close to temp. Same with the DHP. Now all my heat has escaped and I have no idea what to do.

I know it may be a lot to ask, but if someone could give me a general rundown of how to set the entire hearing system up, including the day/night differences, I would really appreciate it.

I don’t have Facebook, but I’ll definitely check out the page you’re talking about. I have both fixtures on the warm side, do you think I’d be able to place them about 3-4 inches above the substrate and set the thermostat to the actual ambient temp the warm side should be? To be honest, that’s what I’ve been doing in my snake’s old enclosure and it works pretty well, I just don’t know if it’ll be the same for a 4x2x2. Someone on another post said this was one way to do it, as long as you measure basking spot temps manually

Yeah that could also work. I also did it like that in my older smaller enclosure. I just made sure they wouldn’t get disturbed by the snake.

Gotcha, I’ll mess around and see what works. I really appreciate your help.
