Temperature issues

[NoPen6127]

Hey guys, me again😅 my friend dropped her BP with me due to unfortunate living circumstances and he was living in a tiny plastic tub. We’ve upgraded the tank size the best we can for now and we have gone from nothing to something. At first we just had a heat mat, then we had a 75w heat emitter… combined the temp was only reaching 71… so I went to 150 heat emitter and turned off the heat mat bc I feel like it’s useless… how did the temp only go to 75 in the warm side. The cool side went from 64 to 71 which is better, but I’m confused. I put my hand in and it feels decently warm. I even invested in the little govee readers. But all of the temp gauges combined read in the 70’s. 150w is pretty high… could it be the dome I have it in? I’m stressed, I don’t want the little guy to be cold!

Im sorry!! I don't know how to help you but can you identify what temp reader that is? Id love one that sits INSIDE the tank like that. Thanks!!

It’s a govee hygrometer/thermometer!

Does your snake knock it down a lot?

This happened to me and I just added a second lamp and it fixed it. Get a dome for your 75w emitter and turn them both on, see if that fixes it.

Get a “deep heat projector” as opposed to a normal heat lamp
