if you put probe at cool end at 20*....it will switch of when hitting 20*......even if hot end is 50*!
hope that makes sense...
heat them up too much & you wont have them too long!
hatchies shouldnt go under 20* at night.... a 3ft habitat may need night heat during winter..
a heat mat works well...set at 23-25* ensures habitat getting too cold.
in 3ft habitats i have used 60w & 75w... spot globes from hardware stores..bout $3
a few extra branches wont hurt |
Thanks for replying.
There is no thermostat probe, its an Istat themostat, so hence me asking what I should set it at.
I have a small basic thermometer to measure the temp under the heat lamp end, and it read 40 plus when I placed it on the branch where the beardie would go, which is why I thought I would do better with a lower wattage globe (I got this one from the supermarket for $4, recommended by a member on here)
I was also advised they wont need heat at night?
I*m getting 2 permanent thermometers for the enclosure tomorrow)
